One reason we have law and contracts is that it lets one remove potential headaches and create certainty about the future. Tangentially, I've noticed that there is a continuum of human personality types, from "interaction is a BENEFIT" to "...is a DETRIMENT". I've seen >>>

I don't think that reflects Jason's mindset. He puts his stuff into the public domain precisely so he *doesn't* have to deal with such details. He doesn't want to. The problem is that public domain turns out to work not /quite/ the way he thought, in a very important way.
