Re: changes made/thanks (re hardware designs)

	    The thing that I've not understood is why this is a problem? The
    restrictions you mention seems to be just as applicable in the GPL,

I am pretty sure that is not true.  There is nothing in the way we use
of software which is legally analogous to building a piece of hardware
from a hardware design.

									it you
    can't restrict what someone does with the end program, only how they
    modify the specifically GPL'd source code. 

I am not sure what you mean by "does with the end program".  I am not
sure what an "end program" means, either.
