Keyword: Free Software Licences
===============================
* Licenses are contracts
Just the usual note: Licenses aren't contracts:
1) You don't have to agree to them.
2) The restrictions are imposed by copyright law.
3) The license can not impose restrictions not in the law. It can only
reduce the restrictions as defined by the law.
4) The correct term is a copyright authorization (at least in Portugal
and I've been told that in France and Germany it's the same).
Best regards,
João Miguel Neves
