That's the second time this week I've seen the word "copyleft." The other was in a publishing contract where "copyleft" rights were reserved by the publisher to allow people to make copies for distribution within their offices of a copyrighted work (the contract was between author and publisher).

Is this really a word? Does it have any legal meaning?
