Hi Larry. I was only talking about US copyright law. I don't know the answer for a fact myself, it's not like I know where to look in the civil code. Everything you need to know can be found at the US Copyright Office's web site: http://www.loc.gov/copyright/. Under UK copyright law,

Hi Brian. Brian Behlendorf tells me that Collab Net will be supporting the bandwidth and hardware for cvshome.org for an indefinite period. Are you sure of this? As of yesterday morning, I've been unable to get to cvshome.org either by web or cvs pserver, so as far as I can tell, it's

Enhancement requests
