Hmmm... this is a dangerous line. The Unix source lived "in the open" until ~1984 (14 years, until the AT&T split). The Linux kernel is now roughly 16 years old and is changing a lot faster (due to the Internet of course). Do we believe many individual small contributions somehow "dillutes" the GPL into public domain? I don't think copyright law work this way. -- Oron Peled Voice/Fax: +972-4-8228492 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.actcom.co.il/~oron ICQ UIN: 16527398 "Emacs is a fine OS, but it lacks a good text editor" ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
