So that part at least is the same.
The license linked to from http://www.asteriskdocs.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=11 is http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ca/ so that is a slightly different license. The creativecommons.org page does state: Your fair use and other rights are in no way affected by the above. And I believe it is highly regarded as fair use (although I dont have legal cites I think its certainly within the spirit of the creative commons doctrine to allow repackaging). I dont know who has access to post blog entries at creativecommons.org but Glenn Otis Brown wrote in support of repackaging saying it helps the original author (in his example songwriters). http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/3729 Now, there is a clause that applies to you (Lief) specifically in the license. "Any of these conditions can be waived if you get permission from the copyright holder." Unless that was assigned to orielly, which is may be the case. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
