Hence I added "caveat fair use". If someone uses a usenet posting as the basis for some Fine Art and tries to sell it on eBay for major money, I think that would be a different situation than just, say, news feeds propogating a post. > No further?

The intent is that the author's license choice takes over once it leaves the browser. The gedasymbols license is just to avoid some weird loopholes with the definition of "copying" wrt the process of web browsing. Yes, I wish I didn't have to do that, but that's lawyers for you. So, the license process goes: author -> gedasymbols (to allow browsing) author -> user (to allow use and/or redistribution) Specifically, it does NOT go gedasymbols->user. I don't want to be a license middle-man. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
