What do you think "authorizes the making and distribution of copies" is called in legal terms? It is called "waiving their exclusive rights".
If you mean in exactly the same sense that an author waives his exclusive rights when he allows a publisher to print and sell his books, fine. Words have connotations. You are using "waive" to imply that the copyright holders are relinquishing rights to their work. I am using "authorize" to emphasize that they are doing no such thing. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
