I am curious about what "copyleft" means in the context of a document,
such as your posting about Unicode character names. Does it mean that
I am free to read and re-distribute your posting, and further that I am
free to *modify* and re-distribute it as I choose, so long as the
intended recipients in turn have the same freedom? Please help me
understand this, as I am unfamiliar with the application of copyleft to
documents.
