I'm not a copyright lawyer, but is quoting really disallowed when it comes to source code? I know that in most countries it's perfectly legal to quote parts of book and articles, wouldn't the same apply to source code? /S -- Sebastian Sylvan +46(0)736-818655 UIN: 44640862 _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
