How do you interpret the last three paragraphs of section 2 in
this context? Doesn't this lend to a legal paradox in which the
ninety minute film may be distributed in two forms, copylefted
and copyrighted, identical but for including and not including the
thirty seconds of copylefted music? "The whole of this film is
GPL, except for the 99.8% of it which is copyrighted." *_*
Not trying to be polemical, just uncertain of the implications.
