Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but this scenario happened with AOL's Nullsoft division. An employee put the personal file-swapping network software Waste on the Nullsoft Web site under the GPL. AOL followed with an order to pull it offline and claimed it was published by an employee who lacked the authority to offer it under an open source license, thus removing it from legal reuse. http://slashdot.org/articles/03/05/31/1259206.shtml -- Rogers Cadenhead, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 06/15/2003 Weblog: http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
