Not true.
You can not provide a document that relinquishes ther copyright of it.
I know, your going to tell me the rights were
purchased by some other
company in the chain, so go review the SCO/Novel debacle. We can always
find plenty of lawyers here in the USA to argue over copyrights. I am
not aware of any hobbyist with no comercial gain being bit by these
tactics.
There is NO argument possible to the explicit transfer of IP rights.
