"Actually, the Artistic License is not being attacked. No one is attacking it. In fact, the court has upheld it so far."

Funny way to uphold it, by ruling that it can't be used to get an injunction stopping behavior that anybody here would protest. Or do you want +your+ work credited as belonging to somebody else?

"That is, the defendant has the right to copy, so he cannot infringe on or damage anyone else's right to copy. "

I don't see this about anybody else's right to copy, so I must be missing something. I see this as about trying to stop somebody from +improperly+ copying, and discovering that the Artistic License won't let us. Isn't that what just happened?

If we want to stop somebody from claiming some code as their own, taking my name off it, and selling it for $$$, how do we do that now?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
