Thank you, thank you, Judyth! That's about the clearest explanation I've seen in
years.
One point: since many templates are created with Word or Frame, could not a case
be made by Microsoft or Adobe, should they wish to do so, that the work created
by using those templates is partially covered by their copyright of the program?
Or is this just too murky an area to want to explore?
