From da0f45d477176dc692dc4d746c1206dec9fa0d23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Fontana Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2012 01:14:41 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Split section 6 in two, making new Anti-Lockdown section. Splitting section 6 into two sections is justified by its length. I also anticipate later exploring whether the anti-lockdown provision (and perhaps other provisions) should be made subject to licensor opt-in. --- GPL.next | 67 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------------------- 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) diff --git a/GPL.next b/GPL.next index 780d9e2..459f5b6 100644 --- a/GPL.next +++ b/GPL.next @@ -204,6 +204,13 @@ in one of these ways: Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d. + Corresponding Source distributed in accord with this section must be +in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation +available to the public in source code form), and must require no +special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying. + + 7.
