Transitivity

Quote: Of course, the source code must satisfy to the freedoms of free content as well. Therefore, by recursivity, our definition is not weaker than the one in the GNU GPL.

I would note that the definition here for soure code ("symbolic modifiable form") is incompatible with the simper, FSF definition ("the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it"[1]). Source code forms allowed by the GPL might not be similarly allowed by the above definition if, for example, they do not include "symbolic" information. --Ricardo Gladwell 11:16, 15 May 2006 (CEST)
