And I become a developer how?
My reading of the GPL is that as soon as I modify a GPL'd product and then distribute my modified binary, I must also make the modifications available to the recipients. Thus, I become a developer just by making the binary available to others.
If I eat a meal, I'm a diner. As soon as I cook the meal, I'm a cook. That seems to be all it takes. Cooks have recipes, and Richard loves that metaphor. So there you have it.
How is the GFDL going to restrict me, as a user who made a change to the documented program, and wants to distribute my changes in documentation as well as source code?
