I read your link, very eye opening. Very few people are aware of this. I once paid a lawyer $30 to explain copyrights to me. Even he got it wrong - very wrong. By the way I'm a horrible speller, always have been. If I was a drug copany or inventor; I'd try to get a copyright rather then a patent.

My goal was to find the legal owner and see if they would sell me a copy of the source code and let me make changes for personal use only. It has to have a copywrite on it so why didn't the office find one; it seems a simple job. Their reply was that they couldn't find anything, How is that
