Version 2, June 1991, no longer says that directly. But as I've said in other posts tonight I believe the GPL still forwards full rights of all changes to the original copyright holder who is the only one who has the legal rights to impose GPL on his code or its derivatives. Or to not impose GPL at some point. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
