The concern is that depending on the legal interpretation of 3b and 3c of the GPL, the clock may restart on every redistribution. So, we host a release of Fedora for 3 years, then take it down, but on the day before we do, someone else redistributes it and then asks us to honor our "3 years worth of source" promise, since for them, it hasn't been three years since their initial date of redistribution. The GPL is painfully vague on what it means here, hence Jesse's (and historically, Red Hat Legal's) instinct to avoid invoking this. ~spot _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
