This is the most interesting thing anyone's said in the discussion so
far. Now you can teach me something.
If I had modified GNU source and I'd compiled it to object code, and
put it in that "non-electronic media" you developed, and sold it,
without making the modified source available to people, would that be
selling Copyleft software? I think so.
Now tell me how it is _you_ know that what you did doesn't earn you
and Richard Stallman a fetching orange jump-suit each, and an
all-expenses-paid vacation at a Government holiday camp in the South
East Florida Keys, with power-showers every two hours and where you
get to listen to the same Eminem song (there is only one) 24 hours a
day?
