Or, for that > matter, the code inside my CPU. But I don't see the point in that you need the right to modify any Shakespeare writing to be able to distribute it. Of course I agree that documentation for software is different, as it's nice to be able to start from the docs of the original source to document your changes. But IMHO direct rules applied to software are not always good for documentation (as it's demonstrated when you try to apply GPL directly to documentation, ... or images, or sounds) Thanks -- Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo jsogo@debian.org
