Let's apply the Tentacles of Evil test. The author gets bought out by Microsoft, who tells you you may no longer copy the work. You try to go to court with the defense that the work was created by the author's monkey and that therefore Microsoft has no claim to it. Will the court accept that defense and let you copy it? I doubt it. So it's not free. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
