What is considered an "attribution" or "acknowledgement" in this case? Would those who follow the FSF request to call the OS they distribute "GNU/Linux" be required by the new license to change it to "GNU/XFree86/Linux" because they have given acknowledgement in the name to the works of a third party, the GNU Project? -- -Alan Coopersmith- [email protected] Sun Microsystems, Inc. -- Operating Platforms Group Solaris x86 & Interface Technology: X Window System
