For example, see my question > above about "private distribution" within a group. Does the GPL allow > this? I'm not sure. But I don't want to allow it with xpdf. Yes, the GPL allow it. And IMHO a license who not allow "private distribution", is not DFSG! IMHO for main it must be allow to change the source without any rule like: "ask me", "don't public", "make public", "send my a postcard" etc. If I buy a cd-set with main and I don't have a modem I must allow to change the source! Or I not right?
