Fair go, David.  It was about 3 years ago.  I only have 9 months or
something of AUST_C_HERE online.  But you've misinterpreted what I said.  I
was the one originally saying that if you compile your program with GNU,
you have to distribute your source code.  And you said that that was wrong,
if you play a game of chess using GNU chess, you don't have to send them
every game you've ever played!  BFN.
