Hi, I've written an essay on free software licensing last month. It explains the basics of intellectual property law, discusses some (semi-) free software licenses, and tries to provide a guide to choosing a license for a project. You may find it useful, if only for the nice collection of links provided by the `references' section. Or maybe you just feel like flaming someone. :-) It's at: http://www.wi.leidenuniv.nl/~mkoek/fsl/ 'bye, Mark Koek
