Hmmm... sounds like you're required to distribute yourself with a work 
to a make it free software.


Oooh, can I clone a Linus from the kernel sources? Or are they not 
free? ;-)

well, these were separate examples, and Linux is not a component needed
to build the kernel. But if of course the all-around-apache-group has a
subproject perfecthacker.apache.org, that provides the DNA of the
perfect Free Software Hacker, this project would be free if it
distributes the DNA sequence. I just wanted to show the universalism of
my "definition".
