McDonald, former Associate Legal Counsel, Ohio State University http://www.cio.ohio-state.edu/policies/legality.html ========================================== Excerpt (fair use, I hope): "An implied license may exist if the copyright owner has acted in such a way that it is reasonable for you to assume that you may make a particular use. For example, if you are the moderator of a mailing list and someone sends you a message for that list, it’s reasonable to assume that you may post the message to the list, even if its author didn’t expressly say that you may do so. The copyright owner can always "revoke" an implied license, however, simply by saying that further use is prohibited." ========================================== - -- Best, Randy burns at runbox.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1-nr1 (Windows Me) - GPGshell v2.70 iD8DBQE+sKE1hNLaTSzsrh8RAq5RAJwI9wU4aY9imhOSALsB8OITNaGPiQCdE6oq jC1W6SHv+DWhSD0tD69wSfI= =8To+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
