There is a small practical problem with that: How would you find out I'm using a modified version of your code internally? Also, the "distribution" part of GPLv2 is a useful filter: Only such modifications that are worthwhile to distribute get back, not each and every corner I paint myself into while playing around. All in all, a nice balance, IMVHO. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 2654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 2654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 2797513 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
