> In the example I gave, Linux wouldn't need to make that change, as the revocation only occurred for a single sublicensee. The other person already responded to your understanding of moral rights. I would also question this assumption. A copyleft license that excludes certain participants who are otherwise complying with this license because of animus on the part of one contributor is not really a copyleft license in spirit. It would be an untenable precedent to set that any contributor can effectively ban anyone they like from using Linux. I strongly doubt the Linux community would keep code like this even if they were technically allowed to. > Richard Stallman ... Would never countenance a situation like the one you're contemplating. He cares most about software freedom and what you're describing is basically the opposite.
