Hi, On Monday 28 July 2008 11:02, Thijs Kinkhorst wrote: > Agreed, this case is explicitly covered by DFSG article 4. Which reads: "4. Integrity of The Author's Source Code The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form _only_ if the license allows the distribution of patch files with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time. The license must explicitly permit distribution of software built from modified source code. The license may require derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original software. (This is a compromise. The Debian group encourages all authors not to restrict any files, source or binary, from being modified.)" http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines regards, HolgerAttachment: pgpDKazL5t0K6.pgp
