might be liable to malicious misinterpretation (the author does reserve rights under general copyright law, including the right to make available under different licenses - the phrase might be used to suggest
that using copyleft is equivalent to the author giving up all rights).Perhaps in the context it might be more useful to explain briefly that ""redistribution <http://www.affs.org.uk/%7Ealex/redistribute> under a more restrictive license"
may be allowed by some licenses, eg. BSD. Rest seems pretty good so far :-) Graham
