ownership of "computer source code" (aka a "computer program" work under 17 USC 101) has nothing to do with ownership "as compiler" as in 17 USC 101 'compilation'. Nor has it anything to do with ownership of separate and independant works such "Pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works" under 17 USC 101
<http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Gaiman_v._McFarlane> In addition to the copyright notices, McFarlane registered copyright on the issues and the books. ... McFarlane’s registrations no more revealed an intent to claim copyright in Gaiman’s contributions, as distinct from McFarlane’s own contributions as compiler and illustrator, . . . Your reading comprehension is as lacking as always. Registration of copyright in a work is not a claim against any co-authors who may exist. It is a formal notice by an author that he has copyright in the work. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
