Sorry, I have no idea. You'd have to ask Lee, I suppose. I think he's still around. Generated math expressions fall outside of (U.S.) copyright, as I understand it, though. At least the majority of them. I don't imagine you could argue that <math>2+2=4</math> is sufficiently creative to warrant copyright. Though perhaps more advanced math would qualify. All that said, I don't think Lee has the authority to release (or not release) any possible copyright on generated math expressions. A piano maker surely can't release the copyright on the works of a pianist.... This is why I just release everything into the public domain and flee. ;-) MZMcBride _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
