Having read your analysis of the derivative work case, I want to know what "combine copies" means? This sounds like it's possible for party A to license software S from party B, then have the terms of the license changed by party C by "combining copies", even though they have nothing to do with A, B or any rights to S. That one is a bit hard to swallow. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
