Your access is limited to what the owner of the copy allows you to do with it. This is illogical. I'm the owner of my machine, I give you access to it, by your logic, I do not have to give you the source code for GCC since you are not the `owner' of the machine. This is simply not true. If you recived the copy of the program, in whatever form, legally, then you have the right to redistribute if 0) the license allows you to, 1) you choose to do so. > and the employeer cannot stop me. Of course he can. After all, it is _his_ copy. He determines its use. No, the copyright holder determines its use. The employeer can only choose either to give me a copy of the program, or not give it. If he gives me it, then I can redistribute the program if the license allows me to. Your two examples are not of the computer world; you once again confuse physical property with non-physical property. _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list Gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
