Hey, i have questions on Licenses...
- If i modify a file that is under no license, (free to do anything..)
then, does that mean that if i modify that file, i have complete permissions on it ? (i own the copyright)
that's all. thankx,

The copyright in a derivative work covers only the additions, changes, or other new material appearing for the first time in the work. It does not extend to any preexisting material and does not imply a copyright in that material.
A work that has fallen in the public domain, that is, which is no longer protected by copyright, may be used for a derivative work, but the copyright in the derivative work will not restore the copyright of the public domain material. Neither will it prevent anyone else from using the same public domain work for another derivative work. In any case where a protected work is used unlawfully, that is, without the permission of the owner of copyright, copyright will not be extended to the illegally used part. http://www.photosig.com/go/main/help...help/copyright
right on the money!
thankx
