Uh. Listen, brainwashed fanatic. A computer program work is a literary work with expression being a set of statements or instructions to be used directly or indirectly in a computer. Doctrine of independent creation aside for a moment, that set of statements or instructions is said to be under "independent" copyright if the AFC test shows that it doesn't contain any protected elements copied from other work(s). References to other computer program works are not protected elements. Stop trying to expand the scope of rights under the GPL to infect works under independent copyright (in this case, Gottfried's program). This is copyright misuse. The penalty for copyright misuse is copyright impotence (it gives impunity to real infringes in court of law). regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
