Umm... how is it GPL-2? There no indication of that anywhere.

But you're not using the same source Debian is.

2007-02-01 04:36:29 UTC

so what ?  the author is the same

Comment 8 a thing 2007-02-01 04:39:53 UTC

So? Just because you use one license on one thing doesn't mean it retroactively applies to everything you've ever copyrighted.

Comment 9 SpanKY gentoo-dev

2007-02-01 05:11:55 UTC

license != copyright

Comment 10 a thing 2007-02-01 06:02:42 UTC

I know that. I've no clue how you thought I thought that from my comment.
