I was not thinking of it from that perspective: You as the student are paying the teacher. Any code he gives you as a starting code is work for hire (done by him for you), hence you hold all copyrights to the starting base. Even if he could argue he was hired by the entire group of students who own the code collectively, he still cannot force you to release your contributions under GPL (or any other license of *his* choice) because you don't work for him, he works for you. What it all boils down to, IMHO, the guy has a very big ego. Cheers, Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
