There's a difference between saying 'you can download my content' to 'you can redistribute my content'. One could probably easily argue that by providing a feed you're opting in to the former, but not automatically to the latter.

Yeah, they can't just choose which part of a license they want to honour. Part of the problem is that they probably can't have their software read which license is used. Of course they have been notified of this stuff more than once (blogtelevision has been mentioned here more than once, I'm sure of that) so by now they could be accused of acting in 'bad faith' (don't know if that's a legal term in the US as well). - Andreas -- <URL:http://www.solitude.dk/> Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. ------------------------ Yahoo!
