Can you (or anyone) copyright something that people have been using for years, and that each person likely came up with on their own? Am I under copyright violation by including the above text in this posting? :-) (*) How about if I hereby copyright the symbol '|' ? Unix (tm) users beware! Or the symbol :-) ?(*) Granted, I'm not familiar with the GNU license, but this whole copyright thing struck me as a little odd if not extreme, or possibly beyond legal limits. I don't mean to start a controversy on the net, so please Email if anyone needs to set me straight or just tell me to take a valium. (*) Used by permission.
