Re: What exactly is Derivative ?



Yeah!  I am...

You may not remember me.  I was the tall dark haired guy wearing all grey
at the LWE.  I saw you at the debian booth, and I asked you who does law
work for debian.  You said that some law student said he would help on our
mail list.  

That's me...

PEACE...
