I work for a major software company in Fremont, Ca. and it has been common
knoledge that the 10% rule is valid, however, I am not able to find the legal
documents at this time. I searched the net. I did find the following
http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/cines/circ14 and
/faq.html#49
They state that minor modifications to a persons program do not constitute a new
work and are illegal to use without the original authors permission.
I am sure the 10% rule is out there somewhere, after all Microsoft, Lotus, and
all the others would not last long without it.
