You mean like no, it's not fine, or no, they won't come and get me? ;-) BTW, I'm not really afraid of EFF lawyers. I just don't want to do something with the EFF's "owned" code which EFF wouldn't like, even though I'm not a fan of either EFF or the copyright law in general. (BTW, AFAIK in my country it is technically impossible to put a work into public domain anyway. Or more precisely, there is a way: you just die and wait fifty years or something. Frankly speaking, I don't care too much about how this law works. Last time I talked to someone (one of the professors at my faculty) about copyright law, he expressed his opinion about the need of shooting all lawyers. I tend to disagree with him less and less over time. ;-) ) > Rasmus Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University
