So does this mean the author cannot authorize the user to do something else without giving up ownership?
That is correct. 17 USC sec. 106 states: "Subject to sections 107 through 122, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following:" As you can see the words "owner", "exclusive" and "authorize" appear exactly once in the statute. The owner can *not* authorize a user to "authorize" since it is a right "exclusive" to the owner. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
