In the physical world, we often loose the source after a while. For example, the initial carved wood for printing this drawing, but there are so many copies distributed across the world, that the chances of survival exist. For Web sites, there is the issue of the unique copy of the site. (note that museum curators have similar issues with multimedia artists. Sometimes it is more important to have a description and source code of the performance more than the physical artifacts of this performance.) -- Karl Dubost - http://dev.opera.com/ Developer Relations & Tools, Opera Software
