It is called a reference.
That's not using it as a *basis for* my work. If I like that poem, I may want to base my own poem on it, taking parts of it and combining it seamlessly with my own work. You seem to be arguing that a license denying me that freedom (placing the poem in a part of the existing work that I can't modify and redistribute) is still nevertheless a free license. That's a disconnect I don't understand. -- \ "I spent a lot of money on wine and women, and like a fool I | `\ squandered the rest." -- Benny Hill | _o__) | Ben Finney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
