Again, I don't think I said that publication revokes "all rights", but it certainly opens the can of worms that wouldn't have been open had you kept it to yourself. So while it *exposes you*, it does not still *deprive you of rights*. That is what copyright is for: to protect you after you've exposed yourself. -- MarkJ Tacoma, Washington -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
