I think it would be obvious to a cabbage that no one is going to recognize copyright claims on things that cannot be validly claimed under copyright law. It is also clear that the determination of this for any specific artifact, like a specific spell checking dictionary would require detailed analysis. Since Apache does not hand out free legal advice, I don't think you will get an official response to your hypothetical question. -Rob > Regards, > Olivier >
