Copyright law is bound to a work, while "Urheberrecht" (German term) is bound to a person (ie, the author). I won't write more because I don't know everything and don't like to publish half-truths, maybe someone else may help. > I don't fully see how "to the maximum extent permitted by law" wouldn't cover > the situations you are worried about? You know, lawyer speak is difficult. I've thought about it, but explicitly saying "Yes, I'm responsible and I didn't put in a trojan horse by will" into the licence text at least has a psychological effect. bye, //Thorsten -- Solange man keine schmutzigen Tricks macht, und ich meine *wirklich* schmutzige Tricks, wie bei einer doppelt verketteten Liste beide Pointer XORen und in nur einem Word speichern, funktioniert Boehm ganz hervorragend. -- Andreas Bogk über boehm-gc in d.a.s.r -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
