IANAL, but `the work' in copyright law has a very clear meaning; it's the thing that's covered by the license. It's short for something like `the creative work'. (Bear in mind that this was meant to cover works of art, books, and so on; `work' makes a lot more sense in that context.) -- `Unless they've moved it since I last checked, travelling between England and America does not involve crossing the equator.' --- pir _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
