Hm... interesting point.

Your wording isn't all that great, and probably contains a few
loopholes, but I get the idea!  :-)

However, if you (the copyright holder of Fubar 6.66) were to post Fubar
6.66 to Usenet, I'd say you wouldn't be able to uphold your copyright.
This is the point I was essentially trying to make.
