Excellent! We are making progress. Finally we agree that your unfounded fear is total rubbish. There is no way for the RLE to evaporate than to violate one one of the terms of the RLE or of the GPLv3. Modification of an RLE-licensed file is clearly not one of those violations.

Not where I live. Each citizen (who is not a mentally impaired person who has been declared wards of the state) is expected to read each contract with comprehension to reach full understanding. You can bury your head under the sand as an ostrich, but I am not allowed to under the (Texas) system of law in which I live.
