>From the legal point of view posting "old lines" in
the diff and posting a single source file are identical,
and both are covered by "fair use", as in both cases
the "original bytes" are present and are useless without
the rest of the system.  Even *names of files* can
be considered "violation", see also the text of USL's
complaint against BSD Inc.

Can somebody from Bell Labs explain their policy on
posting fixes and additions in the public mailing lists?
Just to put the discussion to the rest.
