I think the idea is that you can tell someone what the instructions are in a recipe and that's fine. Making a photocopy of the book it is in on the other hand would violate copyright. So making a program that does the same thing as another program is fine, but you can't just copy the code. Same instructions, different implementation. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
