Yes, this is exactly what I mean. Everyone who sells, supports or doing 
further development on the software must inform the recipient which was 
the initial work and by whom it was written.
Excuse me, but I did not found a section in the GPL which would require 
this. Would you please give me a hint?

Furthermore, I have a question about § 2 (c) of the GPL: Is this 
paragraph also valid for HTML-Outputs of (for example) a 
PHP-Script-Suite? Means: Am I able to require a licensee to print "This 
webpage was setup with PHPSuperScript" at the bottom of each page?



kind regards,
  --mkr
