All fine, but *which* document would need to be signed? Is there a template of sorts you can provide? The page above doesn't seem to provide details on this. Furthermore, I cannot develop under US copyright law. I can only develop under German copyright law, which is again different. I can hand you the copyright, but according to German law, I still have rights as the creator of an entity that I cannot transfer to other people. (German: Urheberrecht) It doesn't give me any major rights, though (as, it doesn't include the right to copy the work, which is part of the copyright.). Folks, that's getting ridiculously complicated... I don't want to contact a lawer just to provide a patch. I really don't care - I just want a usable gdb, that's all. So long, Thomas
