looks like it. in the extreme case i am trying to prevent people being murdered. this is not an exaggeration. i don't understand why people don't understand this.
btw it turns out that Certification Marks are perfectly compatible with the GPL licenses. there are specific sections (in all variants), "if there is any conflict with this license that prevents you from fulfilling your obligations under this GPL license, you are required to cease distribution" or words to that effect.
And all you have to do to distribute uder a GPL licence is ths bake sure that there are no certification marks in it.
That doesn't mean you can't have source code that can be compile-time parameterized with a certificatin mark.
But anyone modifying the certiied source code will presumably have to have it recertified before using the certification mark on it.
