<br>
just reading the latest blog post, an important topic, really good
to cover this ground in a blog post like this. Thank you very much.<br>
<br>
Just some thoughts about it:<br>

- Should that be "must comply"?<br>
- Why are the repositories mentioned as precondition here? I
think the current version can lead to think that distributing
outside of a repository system will void the need for a GPL
license.</span><br>
