Re: [Fsf-friends] Understanding GPL

Rakesh

found that not all us (including me) understand the GPL in its complete form

The GNU GPL is really an easy to understand license. Maybe if you pose an articulated question here, you might get a clued answer from this list.

due to lack of legal training or pure ignorance

The GNU GPL was `invented' by RMS with no formal legal training. You too can interpret it very easily. One need not be a lawyer to understand these things.

I have noticed legal experts struggling to get the concept of free software correctly. But they are very quick to notice the dangers of the terminology `open source'.

Please be patient and do read the archives.

Help build a forum to address the GPL issues

Is this not a forum enough?
