I recall a doctrine in US copyright law that - just because a person has not enforced their copyright in one particular copyrightable item -- say a software program; that they haven't necessarily waived their rights to enforce copyright in a seperate copyrightable item.
This doctrine is independant of the usual boilerplate in contracts in relation to waiver.
I've done some searching: Nimmer etc but haven't found anything on point on this issue. Any responses or general indications are helpful. Being old school, I will summarize for the list
