There is only national copyright law. Parties to the various international copyright conventions agree to harmonize their national law to meet a particular standard of protection, but I'm not aware of any case where such a convention was enacted directly into law. (In the case of the US, the Berne Convention was implemented as amendments to title 17 of the United States Code. US law provides for only a limited right of attribution, which does not apply to ``literary works''.) -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
