That "given" was only clarified in English law fairly recently, added by implementing some EU directive in the 1990s IIRC. In general, it seems a little risky to rely on it. If we know a particular place's copyright law is in use, or if someone smarter says "this holds everywhere and here's references" then I'd be happy with that broad claim. :-/ Anyway, most debian developers create and distribute derived works, don't they? So, we have to worry about more than use anyway... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
