Oracle,
This is from the FAQ here at PB:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html
How do copyrights work here?My understanding is that when you write something, you (usually) get the copyright to it. It doesn't even have to include a copyright statement. There's a process by which you can register that copyright, but that's a somewhat separate issue. However, I want to be able to use these posts elsewhere. For example, on my Book Ideas page or in articles.
You may therefore submit a message only if you agree to allow me unrestricted use of it. Submitting a message constitutes acceptance of that condition. But you retain the copyright.
~~~~~~~~~~~There is more in the FAQ section regarding your question. But to be safe the only way to control *your* work is not to post it here on these boards. Sad but true.
Thanks for bringing up another important issue oracle.
