You seem to | be completely and utterly misunderstanding the entire conversation here. I think I know what threw me off. It was the whole concept of why the FSF wants to be copyright holder. IIUC *now*, this is to make sure no one changes the license from the GPL, correct? Since there are no other copyright owners in this case, this is a given. FSF code will always remain under the GPL license, then. Isn't one of the arguments of the GPL that the author *could* make their GPL code available under separate license for proprietary use? | (please forgive any formatting bogons, I'm trying out a new mailer.) Which one? Jonathon -- Microsoft complaining about the source license used by Linux is like the event horizon calling the kettle black.
