Hi,

I don't know how copyrighting works exactly, but the comment about Poor Mans
copyright is correct. I know that with music, the Poor Mans.... (mailing per
REGISTERED MAIL all the stuff to yourself, then placing unopened mail in a
safety deposit box - to be opened only if needed in lawsuit) thing actually
has been held up in at least one of the United States courts of law in a
music copyright case.

>>From my understanding (limited) of the South African law, that would also
hold up here.

So there! A word of programming knowledge taken from a book on "How to learn
Guitar" ;-)
