What "subvertion" are you talking about? That's the state of affairs on this planet (apart from North Korea... the GNU Republic instilled in your mind by Stallman & Co. aside for a moment) already. You're trying to subvert, not me. http://www.ipaustralia.gov.au/ip/index.shtml ------ Intellectual property represents the property of your mind or intellect. It can be an invention, trade mark, original design or the practical application of a good idea. In business terms, this means your proprietary knowledge - a key component of success in business today. It is often the edge which sets successful companies apart and as world markets become increasingly competitive, protecting your intellectual property becomes essential. Confidential information (also referred to as trade secrets), patents, registered designs, trade marks, copyright, circuit layout rights and plant breeder's rights are all legally classified as IP rights. This section of the IP Australia web site will give you a brief overview of all the different forms of IP. To begin the introduction, start here. ------ I suggest you relocate to North Korea and enjoy "freedom" first hand. regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
