On the contrary, as was settled in SCO v. IBM, constant and structure definitions are not copyrightable if they are dictated by external factors, such as compatibility with existing software or hardware. There are even cases in which actual code is not copyrightable, specifically if the algorithm it implements is so simple that no reasonable programmer would have implemented it in any other way. (SCO tried to argue, among other things, that Linux had stolen errno.h from SCO Unix) DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
