I thought that software licenses were meant to *restrict* your freedoms with someone's work, not *grant* them. In other words, if you create some great unlicensed code and leave a printout lying on the table at McDonald's, what law am I breaking by scooping up the printout and making billions with your creation? I thought this was exactly why most people guard as-yet-uncopyrighted works so fiercely. << Chip Morton >> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
