[edit] Modified GNU General Public License

Nobody actually uses this term, and it's not the official name. Novalis 03:00, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment, We have many other redirects which performs the same function as this. Same with below entry. Inter 09:56, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as redirect. If it is to be deleted it should be listed on Wikipedia:redirects for deletion anyway, not here. But fix the double redirect. Andrewa 14:25, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as redirect. Consider adding Template:R_from_alternate_name (if these are working) Courtland 03:26, 2005 Feb 12 (UTC)
  • Delete. Do not redirect. This article is a (broken) double-redirect to an article about the License of GNU Ada. GNU Ada has a short one-clause modification to the standard GNU GPL which clarifies the licensing status of user code which instantiates generics in the licensed code, an Ada feature. This is a small change, and it is debatable whether an entire encyclopedia article about this tiny clause is warranted. However, for that article about a non-standard clause in Ada open-source license to then take over the titles Modified GNU General Public License and GNU Modified General Public License in the article titlespace, seems completely unnecessary, and misleading, not to say stupid and absurd. --BM 14:38, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. No Redirect. Agree with BM - Who is actually going to search for this? waste of namespace EggplantWizard 21:37, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
