It's the same expression (as in literary work) copied/reproduced
verbatim you idiot. See the GPL for permission regarding its
reproduction (i.e. fixation of its expression/work in "copies" which has
nothing to do with the forms of encoding, etc.). See also 17 USC 101,
silly. BTW, encryption aside for a moment, can emacs do hex views on txt
files?
