What happens when the "You" referred to by the license modifies and/or redistributes the code, as permitted by the license itself? At that point, someone who modifies and/or redistributes the code _can_ be held liable for what he/she does with the code... This scenario looks very different from what would happen with the GNU GPL v2. At least as far as I see it. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
