Have you read section 2 of the GPL lately? I agree that for "normal" patches (security fixes etc.) this is not an issue - but only because nobody cares. These patches still create modified versions, but it's a gray area. I argue that the anti-DRM patch is not a "normal" patch as stated above but goes further and as such creates a modified version were you must follow secion 2. It boils down to: When is a modification large enough so that section 2 applies? Best Martin
