Well... that's your book. But have you read the actual GPL v2 and V3 license? Read them here: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html (section 11 & 12) http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html (section 15-17) It just says that the program does not come with warranty and the author of the code can't be held liable for any damages if you suffer from data loss, down time, etc from using the program. However if there are "applicable laws" the author can still be held liable for damages. For example: our country (and many countries as well) have laws about malware. People can be held liable from damages resulting from malware (not necessarily the author, because some of the security tools if used unlawfully can also cause "damage"). _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
