Bob Young writes a letter to Darl Posted Apr 23, 2004 11:52 UTC (Fri) by bojan (subscriber, #14302) [Link] From UCITA 5. Non-Contractual, Intellectual Property Notices. Subsection (d) clarifies that this Act does not apply to copyright or other intellectual property notices that are not a contract. This Act applies to agreements and contracts. Thus, the Act does not apply if an academic physicist in Houston creates program code and makes it freely available to other academics or individuals as a way of contributing to the development of so-called "free software" or "open source" software. Non-contractual conduct is not covered by this Act. Now, I know that UCITA has been written by schmucks, but hey, if they understand the "non-contractual" then maybe it's time for you too?
Bob Young writes a letter to Darl Posted Apr 23, 2004 12:23 UTC (Fri) by bojan (subscriber, #14302) [Link] Just to make it clear what the above comment from UCITA relates to: (d) [ Intellectual property notices.] This [Act] does not apply to an intellectual property notice that is based solely on intellectual property rights and is not part of a contract. The effect of such a notice is determined by law other than this [Act]. Strange stuff... One would almost think that such notices can actually have some effect, even when there is no contract. Really, really strange...
