What nonsense. What you may do with a copyrighted work depends on the license granted by the copyright holder, if such a license exists. No personal contract is required. Even if you were correct (which you are not), 17 USC 103 is irrelevant to your claim, saying only that the creator of a compiled or derivative work does not gain copyright in the source material and that the presence of the work in a compilation or derived work does not affect the term of the copyright of the source material. This has nothing at all to do with distribution under the GPL. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
