Does that still cost the defendent some money ?

Do you have an anti-SLAPP law yet in your country and/or state, and does 
it get applied ? (Where do you live ?)

Oh. I didn't know that you only meant the license.

But there are usually no copyright notices for typo correction. In that

have to do with the international treaty of 1978... is that right ?
