Nice, a legal question on a technical list? Are you going to ask medical questions here next? :) Seriously, if you have questions like this, and it matters to your business, I strongly suggest you consult a lawyer who knows this type of thing (i.e. copyright law). It differs in every country (and even is different within some states in those countries), so you might get different answers depending on where you care about the result of your question. Best of luck! greg k-h
