Is there any process for licensing your software or applying for a copyright?  
Or are these things simply declared by the owner?  I am asking because Verizon 
has shown interest in my scripts for Verizon Call Assistant.  I intend to 
distribute them free to the blind community.  I would not want Verizon or 
anyone else to "steel" them or profit from them.  
Jamal, what is the first "L" in LGPL stand for?  From reading your description, 
I am guessing it stands for Limited.  

I am more familiar with the patent process.  My Uncle worked for GE Plastics 
all his life and they had a policy of a $1 award for each patent!  I know 
Microsoft and the record companies make a huge deal about copyright.  Is this 
just declared, like placing a copyright notification at the bottom of a web 
page, or is there a legal registration somewhere?
