The insistence that the license applies to the 'work as a whole' is the thing that distinguishes the GPL from everything else and in fact is the entire point of the GPL. If you don't understand that, do some research on the things the FSF has challenged in their effort to restrict distribution of other people's work. Without that clause, terms would apply only to the portions that the author applying the license had created - something no one could fault and the way everyone expects copyright law to work. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
