   A more serious question is whether a minor can license his own work without

   competent to make the decision to do so.  It is probable that a license
   (free or not) granted by a minor is void unless he gets his guardian's

Boy, I hope that doesn't invalidate all the code (and copyright
assignments) I wrote for FSF and Debian before I turned 18 :-)
