It has nothing to do with the GPL. It is copyright law. It applies only to works of "sufficient creative height" (that's more or less a translation of the respective German term). So please read up on the copyright laws of your land. The GPL does not tell you what it takes until copyright applies. It only tells you your rights _when_ it applies. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
