This part? "You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications..." Apache, in my example, added some sort of clause that you can't modify / distribute their software and call it apache. That's not the GPL, that's their own clause. It's the rebranding issue. It does not exist with xpdf. But really, the rebranding issue is not germane to this discussion; there's no need to fork the software. That would be the only time I would consider such action. -- Travers Buda
