I think we're getting sidetracked by choice of words here. What I mean to say is that the GPL not only says what you *can* do with the software, it also says what you *can't* do with it (i.e. modify + distribute + don't provide source). Those restrictions are mainly what distinguishes the GPL from most other open-source licences. So, the GPL-ness of the GPL is mainly about imposing restrictions, not granting freedoms. If granting freedoms is *all* you want to do, you don't need to use the GPL. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Soya-user mailing list Soya-user@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/soya-user
