Quoting Ben Reser (b...@reser.org): > It's not likely to be in front of a judge if the license steward says that.
I certainly never turn up my nose if someone offers me promissory estoppel, but I'm not sure a licence steward venting an amateur opinion[1] about the copyrightability of his/her creation establishes estoppel. Anyway, that's an affirmative defence: It doesn't prevent litigation. Also, I thought you were among those people interested in whether software licence texts are copyright-eligible, in which case you're digressing quite a bit. (No objection: This is the Internet after all.) But I'm starting to suspect why Larry hasn't chosen to comment. ;-> [1] Or even an expert one, as in Larry Rosen's case. _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@opensource.org http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
