Just for clarity purposes, there are *licenses* and *copyrights* and they are fundamentally different things. A license are terms under which you use or grant usage of a copyrighted work. If you give someone a *license*, they are bound to the terms of the license, but they don't necessarily have any copyright (ownership) of the material. All licenses - GPL, BSD, MPL, or the screwiest EULA you've ever read - are based on the principles of copyright. If you grant ownership of something to someone, they can do whatever they want with it and determine their own license. keith -- D.
