Undo revision 856217 by Tzoran (talk)
'''Copyright law''' governs the sale and distribution of "[[intellectual property]]" such as books, articles, musical compositions, and computer programs.
Phil Albert wrote, "... copyright laws give an author exclusive rights to make derivative works." [http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/33968.html?wlc=1299862266] (Note that this quotation is a [[fair use]] of a copyrighted work!)
