Can we remove this copyrighting discussion from comp.fonts please?
Why is it that whatever technical newsgroup I subscribe to sooner or
later gets flooded with discussions about legalities, with, what's
worse, 80% of the contributions from well-meaning but half- or
mis-informed amateur lawyers?  I believe you can be sued for offering
legal advice if you're not a lawyer...
