HOUSE REPORT NO. 94-1476: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Index:H.R._Rep._No._94-1476 ----- A ''compilation'' results from a process of selecting, bringing together, organizing, and arranging previously existing material of all kinds, regardless of whether the individual items in the material have been or ever could have been subject to copyright [...] an unauthorized translation of a novel [i.e. derivative work] could not be copyrighted at all, but the owner of copyright in an anthology of poetry [i.e. compilation] could sue someone who infringed the whole anthology, even though the infringer proves that publication of one of the poems was unauthorized. ----- regards, alexander. -- http://gng.z505.com/index.htm (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards too, whereas GNU cannot.) _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
