You're doing something new, and if you're successful (which I really hope you are) then whatever you call it will become the definition. :-)<br /><br />I do quite like "ungluing" actually. I was thinking about "unbind"/"unbound" in terms of the physical to digital - but it's about much more than that, and the metaphorical glue describes the legal restrictions well.dakvidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775595481256268822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990922102626688253.post-36714901696372795452011-06-20T17:59:22.627-04:002011-06-20T17:59:22.627-04:00Some play around codex?
