Z:gnu-www-ja-hessla--e9f653-In regard to modified versions/en

In regard to modified versions, the HESSLA's restrictions are unnecessary. The GNU GPL is, in general, sufficient protection against privacy-violating features, because it ensures that someone can get the source code, find the spyware feature, and publish an improved version of the software which does not have the feature. Users can then switch to that version if they don't want their personal information to be reported.
