There's a fair chance I've been writing 'C' code longer than you (and if you were born after 1979, I have been writing in 'C' longer than you've lived). With which of the following statements do you have an issue: - one cannot write a (useful) 'C' program without a few #include statements - #included files are "imported" by the preprocessor > Notice that this post is not a derivative work of unistd.h even > though I quoted 13 lines from it. > > There is this thing called "fair use" that exists. If I understand your argument correctly, you're arguing that copying 13 lines from a file is fair use, whereas writing "require file" makes the source code a derivative work of "file". -- Stefaan A Eeckels -- Governments are like babies: digestive tracts with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
