If anyone did start patent litigation against one of the Perl users (and we'd really prefer they don't), and triggered section 13, then their right to redistribute under 4(c)(ii) is revoked along with the rest of the license. You have to have copyright (because you own the package or because someone granted rights to you) before you can distribute to anyone. AllisonThread Previous | Thread Next
