"It seems like some training in copyright should be increasingly viewed as necessary background for professional software developers." What they need to do is simplify copyright law so that people can get it a little better without needing a degree in it. Furthermore, musicians and others have the same problems. Good luck with that. all the best, drew http://zotzbro.blogspot.com/

BusyBox settles another lawsuit Posted Mar 9, 2008 16:52 UTC (Sun) by dvdeug (subscriber, #10998) [Link] Simplify copyright law how? The 10 cent version of copyright law is "don't copy what someone else created without making sure they're all right with it." That's the part these people are violating. Most of the complexity is in the rules about what you can use without getting permission.

It should rather be "don't copy anything unless you've cleared it with the rights holder." It's usually much easier to get the creators blessing than the rights holders, and thinking that the creators blessing gives you legal protection from the rights holder is just dangerous.
