You have been arguing that if the original software is unmodified, any software built upon it is a compilation, not a derivative. I have been arguing that there may be cases where this is not true. Now you are citing someone who says "Such innovations rarely will constitute infringing derivative works under the Copyright Act." "Rarely" implies it is possible. Are you conceding? Or are you arguing against a straw man who says that such software is always a derivative? _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
