You apparently don't know what the copyright in a collective work is and most likely you were mislead by something said by Moglen (and/or RMS and/or GPL) just like his other mobs. Copyright in a collective work is separate from copyrights in its constituent parts because were it not, it would turn collective works into derivative works which are different beasts under copyright law notwithstanding misstated definition of derivative work in the GPL. > > BTW, if you have problems with statements made by Eben Moglen, you > might be better off clarifying things with him direct rather than on > this list. My dossier is rapidly growing. Next time you see Moglen tell him that in the current tempo (driven by the GPLv3) my dossier on his unprofessional conduct (hopefully leading to the disbarment or other disciplinary action) is going to reach the critical mass pretty soon. So he might want to slowdown a bit. regards, alexander.
