Licences and copyright law assign monopoly control of copying and derived works to the copyright holder. You can licence and re-licence your own copyright works however many times you like. It is only when dealing with copyright held (in part or full) by others that you are bound by the terms of their licence. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
