Maybe you know understand my intent. Everyone by now agrees that copyright
issues, although relevant, are off-topic for this newsgroup. It's my hope
that if anyone tries to re-hash this issue again, some reasonable member of
the A2 community will simply point them to this debate. That's why I took it
seriously. I wanted it to be proven conclusively thar what is simply is, so
I presented every reasonably close to rational argument that I thought
someone opposing your side would bring up.

Fortunately Frank T. finally posted the piece of the law I was expecting.
Now the debate is closed and I can go back to A2 related posts. :-D

I thought it was 5 years... Maybe that's medicine...
