Is it allowed to keep a hard copy of a GFDL document in a locked house? That too prevents further reading and copying of the work. If it is allowed, what makes this different from keeping a copy on a computer with a permission setup such that only the owner of that copy can read it? If you argue that using permission bits to prevent others from reading and/or copying the document, you are IMO arguing that no copies except electronic ones on the Internet are allowed. Any other copy is restricted from reading and copying. -- * Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology (T.P) * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
