Jari is right about this. For a bit of perspective, FSF distributes the text of the GPL under these terms: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. It is common to prohibit derivative works of standards and licenses, to keep standards standard and to prevent, e.g., more- or less-restrictive versions of licenses from being attributed to the original author. These documents are treated very differently from source code. Aaron _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
