[Ldsoss] LDS Opencontent Directory

[Steven H. McCown]

Oh come on, I know that you're against copyright law.  I was just being
sarcastic since you used the name 'Bork'.  Words mean thing, you know...

Still, I always marvel at why OSS people are so against copyright law when
it has formed the basis for the entire OSS movement.

I don't understand why you want to mischaracterize me as a "copyright
opponent".  If there's anything I oppose about copyright it is
unmitigated greed and corruption on the part of unscrupulous holders
being rewarded by nefarious laws.

I submit that I have a good idea of how OSS copyright works.
