Comments on copyright !



Hi !

I want to make sure that I'll do the Right Thing :-)

Does this license allow afbackup to go into the main
distribution. IMHO according to current policy: yes.

Comments ? Or spelling corrections :-/

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows, 
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
                      (Henry David Thoreau)
