No, the first refers to using the author's name (such as Buddha Buck or Darren
Benham).  The second refers to the name of the software it's self (grep or
sendmail).

It'll have to be.  That's one section nobody likes.  I decided to post the
draft with that section, basicly, messed up to get comments on the rest.  This
section is supposed to allow a sofware package to say that if someone modifies
it or uses code from it in their own software, the resulting software must also
be DFSG-free.

Geez, even my explanation isn't good... Maybe it's just the hour...
I'll take a crack at that tomarrow.
