Redistribution is again covered by a license. Once we are talking about modified material, a licensing choice for the resulting work is made by the redistributor. Please note that your example regarding patents is utterly irrelevant, since patents are applicable when the resulting product works using the patented method, regardless how that came about. In contrast, copyright covers an actual chain of derivation. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
