If someone else uses code copyrighted by you, then they need to include your copyright notice. As I understand it, this is true regardless of the licence. I don't believe that the GPL requires people to give you credit in their documentation, advertising materials, or what have you. In fact, the "BSD advertising clause" is incompatible with the GPL. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
