The fact that the FSF distributes its code under a license with the same wording in no way changes this. So distributing my code under GPL does not remove my rights as copyright holder. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- James Buster (Domain) bitbug@lonewolf.ebay.sun.com Mad Hacker Extraordinaire (UUCP) ...!sun.com!lonewolf!bitbug ---------------------------------------------------------------------
