I fail to follow your logic. It does not hurt our users' freedoms that we ship minified Javascript code (i.e. functionally identical code but non-reversable to its preferred editable form) - as long as our users ignore the same files as we do in our build routines. Similarly it does not hurt our users' freedoms if we shipped RFC GFDL-licensed documents, as long as they didn't edit those doxuments. I don't understandf how one breed should be treated differently from the other. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
