A further quibble: Such new terms can apply only to code additions. Third-party coders cannot "add new terms" to the original codebase, as they lack title. (Your derivative work based on my original BSD-licensed one might not furnish a clean copy of my upstream source code, but issues of source access are distinct from those of terms.) -- Cheers, * Contributing Editor, Linux Gazette * Rick Moen -*- See the Linux Gazette in its new home: -*- [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://linuxgazette.net/> -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
