Karl,

But this is ignoring equitable estoppel through acquiescence of use. 
That it exists is pretty well-accepted. If they had language explicitly 
restricting the grant to copyright, it would be otherwise.

If you read the language of the license as the only law, without 
considering the vast legal context in which it is embedded, you arrive 
at a different interpretation than any court would.

     Thanks

     Bruce
