Which town, state, country, continent are you talking about? To the best of |
23 |
my knowledge (poor), in Australia, you have to actually indicate the work is |
24 |
copywrite. This is done by placing a C in a circle with the date on the |
25 |
document/code or writing the word "copywrite", by whom and the date. While I |
26 |
am Australian, I currently live in Sweden and have no idea what is required |
27 |
by law here! Maybe it's the same, maybe not! |
28 |
|
29 |
I can buy legally codine and paracetomol, mixed, without a doctors |
30 |
prescription in Australia, with a prescription in Sweden but in the |
31 |
Philippines, it would be totally illegal and I could go to goal for having it |
32 |
in my possesson. |
33 |
|
34 |
This is really off-topic on a technical list like gentoo-dev but would |
35 |
probabley be quite ok on a list like debian-legal. I have no interest in |
36 |
your legal options and rather you keep them too a list where the subject |
37 |
would be on topic or in private, at least that way you don't taint everyone |
38 |
with your views legally. If you requested information I trust you have done |
39 |
it on a personal interest basis only and not implicated a whole lot of |
40 |
innocent people who read Gentoo-dev. |
41 |
|
42 |
Sorry for the totally off topic post and the views expressed are my own and |
43 |
are of no legal value anywhere. |
