Access to the source code isn't a right. Quite the opposite: denying access to the source code for a limited term is a right guaranteed by the Constitution and the Copyright Act of 1976. Under US law, you have no rights or freedoms to my works aside from those that I grant to you and those stipulated under the fair use clauses of the Constitution and the Copyright Act. Is a freedom to deny other's freedom really a freedom? Yes it is. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
