-
- Richard Stallman, if you're reading, you can press "n" now :-)
-
- My client would like information on exactly how to protect her NeXTSTEP app,
- the source of which she plans to distribute to licensees, against copyright
- violations (as opposed to copy protection). She remembers the Cobol world in
- which the first and last 50 pages of code were submitted to the U.S. Copyright
- Office - no kidding :-)
-
- I've been dutifully placing copyright notices in each Objective-C file header,
- but doing the same for nibs, tiffs, dbmodels, etc. hasn't worked so well :-)
- What's the proper procedure?
-
- Thanks for any info or info * you may be able to provide.
