Authorship doesn't relieve copyright holders of free software duties. There is no exclusion in free-sw.html for multiple authors of one program, and no exclusion for authors that have multiple programs. > The software freedom criteria correspond to the programs, not to the > authors. This has the same problem as your first claim. You've used a language shortcut to remove /the people/ involved from their responsibility and duty to comply with and uphold a principle. Consequently, you've not addressed the arguments in the post you're replying. -- Please note this was sent anonymously, so the "From:" address will be unusable. List archives will be monitored.
