Perhaps.  Still a *very* different thing than a license.

If it's a "waiver," isn't it revocable?  I might waive my right to tell you
to get the heck out of my house one day when you stop in to visit and watch
The Daily Show with me; does that mean you can come on over and watch TV
whenever you like, forever after, even if I'm not home?  Probably not.

But hey, I'm not a lawyer, so in spite of what fun it is to talk about all
these things, I'll have to defer to those with greater legal experience and
training and warn everyone not to follow my advice.  I think I have a basic
grip on these issues, but one person tells me in private e-mail that I'm
"wildly incorrect."
