So... a copy of the GPL on the web is not legally binding?The GNU General Public License is a one-sided grant of rights, not a contract, it is *NOT* legally binding and need not be. However, if you *choose* to not accept its terms, the US Copyright Laws take full effect, and your right to distribute is revoked completely. Thus, the binding is entirely on the recipient's side. The "written offer" in 3B needs to be binding on the *distributor's* side.
Thanks DJ, a fine point I hadn't understood so far. JG _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
