Not really. Let's say you manage the not inconsiderable feat of writing a license that actually says that. So I take my $5k data set, add your data, add a 1915 street map of Boston, and sell the whole thing for $10k. Have I violated your license? Of course not! The extra $5k is for that street map! Why do you care if someone does get an extra $5k by including your data? It isn't if you would be losing a sale. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
