Proprietary licenses normally do *not* give you all the rights of an owner: far from it. If I (not being a licensed reseller) sell you a computer with lots of proprietary software on it, you get no use rights to that software. Ownership of libre software of course goes with the hard disk. -- John Cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] At times of peril or dubitation, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Perform swift circular ambulation, http://www.reutershealth.com With loud and high-pitched ululation. -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
