Especially since it could be stolen. On the other hand, it is important for a free piece of physical artwork that it be publically accessible; the one who has power over the license (the Louvre, I guess) would also have to make sure that, when it is sold, it will not end up in a private house. >> - The Original (the work's source or resource) : >> A dated example of the work, of its definition, of its partition or of >> its program which the originator provides as the reference for all >> future updatings, interpretations, copies or reproductions. > (Incidentally, I have no idea what "of its partition" means here. "Its > program" seems designed to refer to dance or theatre works.) I've seen "partition" used in a cover text of a music CD, it seems to refer to the score of music for the orchestra. It might be a false-friend like translation, in german a music score for many instruments is called "partitur". Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
