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... -- Guido van Rossum, Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI), Amsterdam guido@cwi.nl or mcvax!guido or (from ARPAnet) guido%cwi.nl@uunet.uu.net
