Well, since a copyleft is just a copyright (legally) under a different name, I don't see any reason that you couldn't 'sharemark' "e$" under the trademark conditions. Only 'problem' is that if you don't defend a trademark, it can become public domain, but then, that's what we want, right? -- #include <disclaimer.h> /* Sten Drescher */ Unsolicited email advertisements will be proofread for a US$100/page fee.
