Do you have case law for this claim? Conditional copyright licenses are most closely analogous to conditional licenses to enter land, where in general the condition can be anything, provided it's not against public policy or otherwise problematic in itself. Of course, in civil law land, licenses are contracts, period. -- Andrew Watt on Microsoft: John Cowan Never in the field of human computing [email protected] has so much been paid by so many http://www.ccil.org/~cowan to so few!
