This is essentially saying 'This is public domain. No rights reserved.' because if anyone wants to just include your code in proprietary software they could just choose to use it under a DFSG-free license that says 'You can use it and modify it for anything.' If you're going to do this then you might want to consider PDing or the BSD license. -- Andrew Donnellan http://andrewdonnellan.com http://ajdlinux.blogspot.com Jabber - [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG - hkp://subkeys.pgp.net 0x5D4C0C58 ------------------------------- Member of Linux Australia - http://linux.org.au Debian user - http://debian.org Get free rewards - http://ezyrewards.com/?id=23484 OpenNIC user - http://www.opennic.unrated.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
