New Scientist Tries Out Copyleft

Little new ground is covered, but it is interesting that the article itself is "Copyleft", so you are free to redistribute, modify and copy as long as long as your derivative work is also copyleft."

    I did not say usefree or completelyfree I said Copyfree which means that you are free to copy just as copyright means that you have the exclusive right to copy.

    And which idea are we talking about as made up by an American? I hope you mean copyleft and not copyright. We have the British to thank for the original copyrights (Queen Anne's law or something like that).
