You have to weigh your desire for ease and privacy against your desire for the source to be open everywhere. I'd bet that some countries don't honor electronic signatures as legally binding. Similarly, I'd doubt that a pseudonymous entity can be considered a copyright holder. Again, this falls back on the public domain issue. Naturally, I'm not a lawyer. I just like to throw around theories. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
