Mostly what is mentioned here http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200306/msg00154.html In particular, this allows a professor to print out copies and distribute it to their class, without having to jump through any more hoops. There was a long discussion of this sort of clause on debian-legal. You can start looking at http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2002/debian-legal-200206/msg00047.html Regards, Walter Landry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
