: How about compiling it? THAT is "further processing"......
Perhaps...but I for one wouldn't trust anyone else to compile my copy of PGP...would you?
I would use a precompiled version of PGP *if* it came from and was signed by someone I trusted. After all - I don't read all the source code - do you?
And, note, it says sustantial change in value...I don't know if this is taken to mean monetary, or usability...the later might work. It's an interesting idea. Jeremy
I would say that if you can sell something that people would otherwise get for free, then you have added value. So, pre-compile for a couple of architectures, and then slap them on a CD-ROM with source. Definite tangable value from the CD-ROM then.
