Well, no. If there were no copyright, everything would be naturally "open source". In fact, that was the general idea for the creation of the GPL: to emulate the "no copyright" world Stallman idealized. The GPL needs to be enforceable only because copyright exists. If copyright did not exist, the GPL would not need to be enforceable. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
