If talking about open source software, depending on license even if source code of software itself is freely distributable original creator still owns copyright on the source code (MIT, BSD). I think it can also be seen as gentlemans agreement. If you use other peoples code, do not claim that part was made by you. Of course, IANAL and nitpicking about licenses is boring :) -- Mika Tuupola http://www.appelsiini.net/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
