If anyone has anything else they'd like to add to the site or revise the description of their site, please e-mail me and/or the list. Another note: I've been hearing conflicting stories about the impact of these new copyright laws in the U.S. Allegedly it is possible for another party to say, download source code online and if it has no copyright on it, attach their own and redistribute, even to the point of taking legal action against the original author. I understand that this has happened under the old law to some distributors of scientific code. Anyone have any reliable info on this? Those making code available might want to install some type of copyright notice (perhaps modelled on GPL?) in their files. Suggestions on anything that might provide a reasonable level of protection?
