Re: CLOSED #1198 Proposed resolution - Implementation and derivative work

Sorry Harald - the derivative rights requirements can be gleaned from this
http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ14.html#derivative the USD Government's
COPYRIGHT.GOV website's FAQ's on Derivative Works...

I suggest that you review the law as it stands and then recant these words
since the derivative rights section is also clearly broken - why is it that
this group thinks it gets to re-write law.
