Re: Final text of GPL v3 (original) (raw)

Ok, let's scrap the high-tech detector with enough resolution to tell you're moving your hand and take a more realistic one which can just tell that you're sitting at the computer -vs- being somewhere else in the room -vs- the room being empty. The voice can tell me a lot while my feedback is very limited.

Or, take your common dumb temperature control: you have a box with two buttons and a simple LCD display which can show only two digits. Yet, nowadays everything tends to have a chip inside -- and if anything inside has anything to do with GPLv3, you suddenly need to convey the legal notices...

My point is that the requirement of every interactive interface having a feature to display the legal notices can be a severe use constraint.
