Moral rights have a much lower status in the US and do not really apply here. Canada specifically excludes software from moral rights. That is too say, in Canada moral rights apply to works of art and literature but not to computer programs. What is the situation in Europe? Are you sure that moral rights apply to software there? -- D. Richard Hipp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
