	[MCepl]  You don't, if you do them on GNU/GPL (X Windows, BSD,
etc.) licencsed program, because the exact way how to accept such
create. Did you ever signed GPL offered to you by author? I am not with
you.

	[MCepl]  Certainly, that it does exist. When one company sends
an order to other for one tone of hazelnuts and other does not send an
acceptation notification, but rather the cargo of hazelnuts itself, it
is exactly acceptance of contract by conduct. It happens every day
thousand times. See §50(2), §53, and §54 of Restatement 2nd on Contracts
(pp. 106-107 in edition of Farnsworh & Young, Foundation Press, 1992).
