Not if it ain't a Derivative Work, I'd say. On the other hand, where there's a judge, there's a way. But then there's appeals courts. And ultimately the Supremes. I'm none of these so I won't otherwise answer your questions. What do you think? /Larry -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
