For a large proportion of packages, there is no single "copyright of the work", because there are multiple copyright holders, each one with copyright in parts of the source tree. For a subset of those packages with multiple copyright holders, there are even multiple licenses over the work. It's good, then, that this proposal doesn't extend a simplistic illusion of "the one true copyright of the work". -- \ "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all | `\ others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking | _o__) power called an idea" -- Thomas Jefferson | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
