Tim Dobson's Blog

Until quite recently I syndicated quite a lot of news feeds on this website.
Many of those were blogs of free software supporters, who, like me believe strongly in the existence of copyright and promote free software, using either the GPL, BSD, Apache etc. licences.
However, I was dismayed to find that many of them however displayed very little in the way of Copyright Information.

I was horrified when I found that some of those that *did* have Copyright information, had applied it in an unnecessarily restrictive way over their blogs which meant I could not use it for anything.

I'm unclear why some feel these restrictive copyright terms are are necessary.
