Hallelujah. And if you got a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to create your art, it's public domain. And if you get unemployment insurance money while you developed your gadget. And if it was part of a school project while you were going to school on the government's dime. .... -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
