Since all Pd code is free, I think we can all safely assume that all of the words on this list are free. If need be, we should make it explicit. As for me, anything I write on this list is public domain. Its not plagiarism, its collaborative work.</DIV><BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">Anyway, if anyone has stuff that could be included in an FAQ, I'd be happy to try and update the Wiki. Another possibility, I could ask questions to the list one at a time, collect answers, and post them to the wiki FAQ, if people think this is a good idea. <BR></BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>That sounds like a great idea if you are willing to do it.
