For the FSF it's easy to change the copyright in their software since they have copyright assignments for all software contributed. There are _many_ people that have a copyright on parts of the Linux kernel (the exact number might be different in different countries due to different copyright laws). To change the copyright to anything other than GPL v2 is practically impossible (even if a new version of the GPL might fix the deficits you mentioned). > Cheers > > Andre Hedrick cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
