4/6     Copyright question: when I use dict and get back a result like
        "From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:"
        Is that the 90 years copyright in effect?  If that new copyright
        law hadn't been passed in the late nineties, would we be using the
        1933 dictionary?  More applicably, is Webster's in any way
        profiting from their extended copyright here?  Who's buying or
        selling dictionarys from 1913?
        \_ Well, anyone who wants a copyright to end is obviously a
           WORTHLESS GOD DAMNED THIEF!!
           \_ Yes.  True.  And?
           \_ Everyone already knows that.
