no less strict than those stated/set out/stipulated/established Explanation: . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2015-08-04 03:10:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I'm struggling to state the exact reason, but it's been asked a lot on the internets (see e.g. https://goo.gl/4uPKJA), and "no less/more than" seems far more common -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2015-08-04 03:14:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I also understand that "less" is in a different usage here (as a modifier to "strict" rather than an adjective on itself), but it doesn't seem to matter. See also examples from Google Books, with "no_ less strict than" clearly prevailing: https://goo.gl/w2SpPi vs https://goo.gl/RAdltu |
