Posit that I am creating a version of the old Lyons Unix book, 
containing the Linux source code. How many copyright holders must grant 
me a waiver? Is the answer the same across all jurisdictions?

It is easier to print the GPL than it is to even /start /analyzing 
questions like rights in a compilation vs. rights in a collective work.

     Thanks
