Not quite, the details are different since it's different parts of the copyright controls. Patches are typical derivative works themselves of the original work. Thus, both the "arrangement/compilation" copyright control *and* the "preparation and distribution of derivative works" control are *both* involved when a maintainer selects and arranges all patches for the final release. Meanwhile, this "copyright of the CD" is probably just a compilation/arrangement issue. > I agree that I don't know of anyone else who has done this. ... except Larry's clients, apparently. :) -- -- bkuhn _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
