Re: Quran license

[Mohamed Salah <med_salah7 at yahoo dot fr>]

Assalam 3alaikum,
Brothers,
The GPL License allow to modifiy the content of the
thing distributed under this license. 
"2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program
or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or
work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
you also meet all of these conditions: ..."

So i think that we can't distribute the content (which
is the Holy Quraan) under this licence. we should
protect this content from alteration or modification
by any person unless it is an authority like
al-azhar...

I propose that you modify the GPL Licence to protect
and distribute these audio and XML Files with respect
to the holiness of Quraan.

at the end, i apologize if my english isn't good
enough to be understood.

Mohamed (salahm),
