No. It's about infringing the right on making a derivative work. IOW,
RMS' own typical "Verbatim copying and redistribution of this entire
[blah blah] are permitted provided this notice is preserved" covers
compilations (packages), but not derivatives of his (kinda literary)
idiotic work(s). My, what a proprietor! (It's akin to GNUish "mere
aggregation" vs GNUish "derived" ("derived" falls under the GPL... or
else... GNUish "mere aggregation" of GNUish "derived" stuff with
something else aside for a moment).

Because *you* have to make a (an initial) "comparixon", not me.
