<span style="white-space: pre;">> The entire "Changed Work" is NOT
under the GPL.</span><br>
<br>
Only the *owner* of a copyrighted work may *license* his original work.<br>
<br>
17 USC sec. 106 says:<br>
"Subject to sections 107 through 122, the *owner* of copyright under
this title has the *exclusive*<br>
rights to do and to authorize any of the following: . . ."<br>
<br>
If multiple individual *owners* of the different works comprising a
derivative work *contractually* agree to<br>
distribute their respective original works under a common license they
may do so -- but that principle absolutely<br>
*FORBIDS* the GPL from being used to license derivative works because
the GPL is a "license and not a contract"<br>
-- at least according to the Free Software Foundation.<br>
