License comes into action when somebody has full rights (ie copyrights) and he want to give some limited freedom to enjoy some software under some terms and conditions. (ie license). If somebody do not include any license then it means he is not permitting anything. If somebody is not including copyright then it means it means that software is public domain. As KG said, in Indian Law, we must tell that some page/software is under public domain. If somebody is not including copyright notice then it is not under private domain, nor it is under public domain then where it will fall? -- ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ Narendra Sisodiya │ http://narendrasisodiya.com └─────────────────────────┘ -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
