I don't believe this is true. You cannot supersede someone else's copyright by anthologizing their work. Instead I think the guy who adds section B gains a copyright on all parts of the work that original to him. Maybe this is just section B, maybe it's some interstitial material as well. > So, when you remove section B again, you are free to choose, > whether you regard it as the original DFCLed work or a derivate > work of the GPLed big one. I think your reasoning is flawed here. -- G.
