Well, I'd recommend the use of Google Groups on threads in this group with Mr. Terekhov's participation before deciding to follow any legal advice of his. Since his razorsharp legal opinions are unfortunately not shared by the copyright holders (for example, the FSF), following his advice is not prone to keep you out of the courts. And since the judges are seemingly not sufficiently versed in the laws for following Mr. Terekhov's reasoning, following his advice is not likely to get you out of the courts unscathed again. It would certainly be appreciated by the FSF if the law cut down the extent and reach of copyright to the measure that Mr. Terekhov imagines for the GPL. However, while copyright law is given the current, partly ridiculous extent, GPLed works are just as protected as other works are. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list Gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
