As I said in my news FAQ a week or so ago, if you're tlaking to someone about one of these licenses and they start twittering on about copyright or trademarks, then feel free to leave the conversation, because it ain't remotely related to the one you're having.  Expecially the oft-related at nauseum "mechanics can't be copyrighted" line which is a sure sign of a 12 year old who stumbled across a web page about copyright, thought it was relevant and gleefully posted it crowing about his original and incisive discovery.  It's not relevant to any of these licenses.It's simple: use the licence(s) and agree to the conditions within; that's it.  if the conditions demand that you stand on your head and speak Swahili while dressed as a duck, then they're the conditions; as it is, the conditions more reasonably demand that you avoid certain terms.Don't like the conditions?  Don't use the licence.</blockquote>
