(x) Copyleft, Marinais, 01/29/2000 Relatively recently, when the life of Russian ordinary people lei, various concepts of the Western world began to penetrate, These signs were also embedded in her. They can now be found in almost any book, product personal packaging, TV shows... And also computer users see them constantly in software interfaces, logos, documentation, on wrappers and labels, so it is unlikely that anyone then you need to explain what they look like. But despite their universal prevalence, as show observations that the overwhelming majority of people dey, not only often encountering these signs, but even torturing hsya and use them independently, stays in deepest misconceptions about what they are on actually mean. :-) Having seen once again the blatant stupidity with which oneSince none of these signs have been used, I decided it was time to add bring clarity to this issue and put everything in its place. (c) ─ copyright ─ (circledC; С in a circle) ─ author's sign who is right. Means that this work is considered to be the author his property, and he reserves the possibility of it legal protection. The symbol was adopted by UNESCO at the General Convention Copyright Authority in 1952 in Geneva. Contrary to popular belief (especially in the computer world) By the way, this symbol is not an indication of a car - in about ─ the actual author and owner of copyrights to the work may be by different persons or organizations; often It happens that the copyright is owned not by the author, but by the publisher or another intermediary. The sign denotes the legal oh- copyright infringement, not authorship, and means precisely legal concepts. It also implies the imposition of ownership Holder of copyright for the work for use and distribution. Taking this into account, lines like "Cool Program" (c) Petya Iva- new Freeware", which they often like to put in their programs. We are domestic amateur programmers who are b e s - thoughts with the face and say that those who inserted them into the inter- face people did not understand what they were doing. Exactly the same senselessness - its are often used in network correspondence expressionsstatements like: “There is no perfection in the world :-( (c) Mine", quickly anyway, thank God, no statements, no quotes, yet are not subject to copyright or private property. This sign is a purely official designation with with a very specific meaning and use it all the time as an indication of authorship ─ incorrect. In the literature, indications of authorship or source of information ations are usually expressed in square brackets, for example: “Before than to write, figure out which side of the pencil does it - Xia [Marinais]". (R) ─ registered trademark ─ (circledR; R in a circle) ─ registered trademark. Applies to the name (symbol) and while says that it is officially registered as trademark of any manufacturer and may not be used used by no one else to designate their products. The symbol arose in commercial practice to mark a symbol values that are in someone's monopoly possession. Pris- The use of such designations by other manufacturers is subject to prosecution as illegal. Also illegal (at least internationally) folk concepts) and use the symbol (R) just like that, without preliminary registration of designation. (tm) ─ trademark ─ (^{TM}; TM in superscript) ─ non- registered trademark. Applies to the name (symbol) and whilemeans that it is considered by the manufacturer as his own proprietary trademark, but not officially registered and is entered by them simply on their own initiative. The symbol originated in the USA as a free analogue (R) for non- registered designations. (x) ─ copyleft ─ (circledX; X in a circle) ─ free use use. Means that the author of this work is in no way pre- tends to it and transfers it to human beings for free use stvy. The symbol was born among supporters of the freedom movement new software as the logical antipode of the auto sign Torah rights (c), which is reflected in its name. Guess- flax was invented by one of the founders of the movement, Richard Stallman in the USA in the 80s. @ ─ commercial at ─ (@; cursive a in “wrapper”) ─ com- commercial fl. This sign is used in the English-speaking environment and denotes This is a shortened version of the word "at" (about, at). Usually a hundred appears when the price is indicated (at such and such a price) and in similar situations. # ─ number ─ (#; "hash") ─ English number; N ─ numero ─ (No; “figy number”) ─ Russian number. Number signs. The first option is used in the English-speaking environment with designations such as N or No. etc. It is in this capacity that he is definitely present in ASCII, although it is sometimes mistakenly called "sharp". Whatthis is not true, it is easy to understand from the fact that, firstly, in ASCII there are no other similar musical symbols and This selectivity is difficult to explain, and secondly, the sharpness With more careful drawing it looks a little different. The meaning of this sign is completely identical to the usual Russian one. to the tongue-speaking reader the second sign, which in the English-speaking environment does not apply. e ─ estimated ─ ( esizebox{!}{Ex}e; increased e) ─ evaluatively. Means that the indicated quantity (mass, volume, etc.) is not precisely measured, but estimated from some approximate amazing considerations. There are other trademarks that are widely distributed They are much smaller, so it’s unlikely to mention them worth it. However, to know the purpose of the above for each device it is simply necessary for the named person not to write in communication with them is nonsense and should not be placed anywhere.
