I agree absolutely. Obviously the phrase "in cahoots" is rather critical here. If I download Debian GPL and non-free sources and modify them and link them on my machine, and I do this without Debian having suggested that I do it, then, in my opinion, neither Debian nor me is infringing. However, if /usr/doc/foo/README,gz were to tell people how to do this deed, then Debian would be infringing, IMHO. That is how this discussion is potentially relevant to the Debian project. I think I have learnt something from this thread, though I begin to believe I won't learn anything more from it, so you'll be glad to hear that I will shut up soon. Edmund
