- Thanks to all who replied to my software copyright question.
-
- I received such a variety of somewhat conflicting responses that an
- intellectual property attorney's advice seems really prudent. App architecture
- has changed dramatically from the old huge, monolithic Cobol model, so this
- suggests that the copyright procedures have changed (some say they have, and
- others say they haven't :-)
-
- Some clever (to me, at least :-) tips suggested how to insert copyright strings
- into nibs (use an NXStringTable), sound files (sndconvert -i copyright_string),
- and even tiffs (Tag 33432 in Tiff 6.0 format, but I'm not sure what utility to
- use).
