So if i give someone a copy of linux in optical media format such as cd-r, it is illegal right? even its for free since as mentioned its covered and copyrighted. And distribution of copyright items is illegal and a form of piracy. Only in the Philippines! Maybe ill just give up all of these things and learn aquaculture of fresh water prawns instead. I cant believe even the open source bill did not cover this hole. It only ammended the non-patent items in the Intellectual property code of the philippines. -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://www.graffiti.net Powered By Outblaze _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
