Explicit permission from the copyright owner is required to legally |
| 10 |
redistribute: |

If the copyright owner has no problems with redistribution, they would |
| 16 |
most likely include a simple license which permits redistribution so |
| 17 |
that people wouldn't have to violate the law to do just that. |
