Hi Bastien, Hi Carsten,

as these legal matters are of interest to a certain extend:

1) does this change/sentence meet the problem arised?
2) is the sentence in question here true, can it be true?

1d There was no misunderstanding but displayed frustration, eagerness or whatever.
    No misunderstanding, no need to clarify the pretended matter.

2nd) If someone changes a GPLed file while propagating the changes with a compatible license as mentioned
      http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses:

      Is org-mode going to create its own legislation excluding this? :)

Cheers
