That's the problem. At any time, the copyright holders for gv could hit anyone who's distributing kgv with a massive cease, deist, plus punitive damages suit, and I don't think there's any question that they could get the cease and deist, at least for future distributions. Probably for current distributions, too - i.e Red Hat, Mandrake, etc. has to destroy all the old CD's. Debian wants to avoid that. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org If you wish to strive for peace of soul then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire. -- Friedrich Nietzsche
