<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2>I betthe Spanish civil
law only considered "intellectual property" as a kind of property right
<U>to the extent</U> that it is protected by ony of the specific legal regimes:
copyright, patents, trademarks, etc. For a lawyer this is so obvious that I can
hardly imagine anything else. Civiil law usually is hardly politically
loaded, or controversial. </FONT></DIV>

</PRE></BLOCKQUOTE>True. However, as the very 1889 Spanish Civil Law
considers the <I>c word</I> as a special kind of property, I think that the
broader definition that WIPO uses comes from there -by extension-. You always
said it, RMS: we better don't abandon the language battle, otherwise we'll
find ourselves stumbling on the odds to achieve our goals. Regards
