If it comes to that, Congress could change the law to say that all copyright licenses are invalid unless the licensees are specific named legal persons. That would pretty much destroy the whole FOSS movement. -- John Cowan <co...@ccil.org> http://www.ccil.org/~cowan One time I called in to the central system and started working on a big thick 'sed' and 'awk' heavy duty data bashing script. One of the geologists came by, looked over my shoulder and said 'Oh, that happens to me too. Try hanging up and phoning in again.' --Beverly Erlebacher _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@opensource.org http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
