Re: [Security Firewall] Re: MNF Licence

You encouraged me to re-read the GPL http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html:

"2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of 
it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute 
such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided 
that you also meet all of these conditions:


    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. 


    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
    thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
    under the terms of this License." 

Now I'm no lawyer, but with regard to 2b it seems to me that:

    a) MNF2 is a work based on GPL Program(s),

    b) is distributed under the terms of Section 1 of the GPL,

    c) and thus Mandriva is obligated to cause MNF2 to be licensed at no
    charge to all third parties!

Are we not all third parties and thus entitled to receive free licenses 
under GPL?
