   Never mind that Alessandro's and my examples specifically involved
   the change *not* being incorporated into the original project.

Nothing stops anyone from incoperating the changes into a project
which isn't the original one.

   OK, so changing is not modification, I see. Please go on ...

You know perfectly well what I was refering to, and simply resort to
stupid comments like these, again and again.

If you remove a file, and replace it with a new file you have a
change, if you take the original file, and change the colours in it,
you have a modified version of the same file.

It is clear that you are only interested in causing a flame war.
