You are wrong. If you legally have a copy of it, you can do what you agreed to do with it, else you've violated your copyright license agreement to copy, derive, and/or and publish. [...] > Try reading up, just a little, on copyright law. I strongly suggest that you try being just a little less patronizing. I've read more than enough about copyright law and software licenses and the GPL to not appreciate people treating me like an ignoramus. And you should know that by now. If you can't follow my arguments or don't want to argue with them, just ignore me or give your own and keep your insulting comments to youself.
