Ah, so that means that according to your legal theories, we have a "joint copyright" situation for those portions, and anybody can take any parts of Apple's changes and use them without worry, since Apple could only possibly sue if it managed to get Berkeley interested to sue together with them, and Berkeley's choice of license made perfectly clear that Berkeley is not interested much in suing.

It's funny how every time you are shown to be wrong, you holler for doctors, medications, and retards. Not to mention drunk judges. Such a transparent maneuver, and what a pathetic excuse for a smoke screen. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
