Re: [libreoffice-users] License for a LO Calc document?

Hi :)
Nice answer!  Good to have links in there too.  I really thought that the poor-man's copyright was 
a legit way but now it';s obvious that it couldn't be.  It's waaay too easy to fake it.  

That was interesting about the Berne Convention.  Next time the issue crops up i might look into 
that more.  

My boss was asking about how to apply copyright to something a couple weeks ago so i just pointed 
him to "Creative Commons" without really knowing what i was doing.  

Thanks and regards from 
Tom :)
