Please be aware that in at least the EU database compilations _can_ be copyrighted. It makes life a lot simpler for distributions if you just pretend that it can be copyrighted and apply a license. If you want something approaching public domain, the BSD license is an obvious choice. Going with the LGPL as you propose later in the email is perfectly fine too. /Benny -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
