Oh, he certainly has that right in almost every country. That's what the Berne convention is about. However, he does not have the right to restrict a user's freedom to use, modify, improve and distribute software that its respective author chose to license under the GPL. That's what the GPL is about. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
