Right? Section 0 says: : Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not : covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of : running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program : is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the : Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). : Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. This is generally true for copyright law. Tony. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
