From article <1989Oct26.133749.15831@odi.com>, by benson@odi.com (Benson I. Margulies): " ... " Someone raised the point, "but all that QA is just a service. You " could make a business in the FSF world of fixing all those bugs." " " a) well, but not for long. Once the bugs were fixed, all your " competition would have all of your work for free. ... Really? Why not copyright your bug fixes or enhancements? I can see that your work might have to carry the copyleft and might have to be distributed in source form. I don't know why that would prevent you from also copyrighting it yourself -- it's your work. Greg, lee@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu
