Yes, this is true in most (or perhaps just several) countries. | All that is important is that the | authorship is apparent. So our lines | \author Lars Gullik Bjønnes | \author Angus Leeming | are sufficient statements of copyright. Yes, but that information is missing now, so WE do not really know. For the sake of copyright per se, you do not even have to add your name as author to have full legal support for your copyright. | We do have legal gurus out there however. Perhaps they'll chime in. I guess that from a Copyright pow, the problem with "The LyX Team" kindo impllies that we have transfered the copyright to that entity. (which is non-existing) -- Lgb
