In other words, "for their own good", Congress removed people's right to license their own creations however they see fit; they restricted freedom to "preserve it". And as expected, it backfires as soon as an unexpected situation arises--such as people honestly wanting to give their creation to the world, for free, guaranteeing that the work will always remain under those terms. > Certainly it is frustrating, but I think there are sound policy reasons > behind > the law. I disagree strongly. It's restricting what I can do with my own works, denying me the basic right to give it away for free, without the threat of revocation down the line. -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
