From article <12344@pur-ee.UUCP>, by hankd@pur-ee.UUCP (Hank Dietz): " ... " The propagation of copyleft rights via use of copylefted tools is an absurd " power trip: ... This certainly violates the spirit of pure " academic research as I see it; all we're supposed to want is proper credit " for our good work, not a claim on somebody else's efforts. Yes. And software developed with public monies ought to be practically available to profit-making companies as well as to others. I wish Stallman all the best in his crusade, but since I have my hand in the public till, I don't think it would be proper for me to use a copyleft. " ... " Anyway, here's what I think we will be doing: a pure PD release with a " credit/modification history which must be maintained, but which carries no " further rights. As a practical matter I think it is reasonable for you to expect the courtesy of keeping your names associated with the code. It would not be a right, though, if I understand what PD means.
