It's an attempt at overriding the statute of limitations. Some jurisdictions permit this, others simply ignore it. I don't remember which. I don't think it's not desperately important; collecting damages is for corporations. All that really matters for free software is that the courts enforce the license *now*; reparations for past abuses don't really matter. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
