I think knowing the list is a public help forum is enough to wave your rights, if you say this code is GNU, well that's a typical GNU distribution method, so it would be a more difficult call than commercial copyright. // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator <IXOYE>< http://galis.org/ cell:646-331-2027 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
