Sure. In this case you are using the schema not as software but as specification. The copyright status of a spec and software compliant to that spec are totally independent. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all. There are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful. --_The Hobbit_ -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
