And I've explained that it doesn't, and asked you to cite the passage
of the GPL that prevents you from doing it. You haven't bothered to
do it, and instead decided to keep insisting in this nonsensical
claim.
Actually, he did reply to that, but perhaps you didn't see it.
He had an unfree program (the wattcp library) and GNU tar and
discovered that he wasn't allowed to ship a program that linked
these two together. He then said, gloriously, "please don't try
to say the problem was cause by those other licenses -
they did not prevent anyone else from getting copies..." :-)
OK Les, I promise not to say it. However...
