Re: auctex preview.dvi build failure

Pretty clearly the intent is clarify that the requirement is simply to notify the user that the work is different from the original. Without imposing a burden far worse than the original BSD advertising clause! I'm not sure what "a relevant date" might be; that's quite ambiguous phrasing. I suppose date of last change is probably best, although you could also imagine a notice "Proudly divergent since 1992".<wink> I think your suggestion would go beyond what the GPLv3 requires, but it would seem courteous to do at least that much. Note that at the very least the Makefile has been replaced, though, so *all* packages not original to XEmacs should bear a "this package was changed" notice. It seems to me that due courtesy would demand that we explain briefly that the functional code has been changed, as well as the packaging. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
