Excellent!  Thanks, John.  I'll give those links a good looking through,

and if I find anything of particular pertinence, I will get back to y'all!


Please note the tendencies, as pointed out in your post, of larger

web-based corps to assume (word chosen with care) a high degree of

ownership.  My spin on that has 2 twists: enforceability of copyright by

individuals is for all intents and purposes nonexistant (despite

threats/dares I've gotten off-list to the contrary), and there is very

likely a significant amount of legal advice out there that indicates that

posting electronically to a public place is in some way less copyrightable

than other media.


This, except for the noted exception above, will be my last posting on the

subject.  I leave subdued by the level of hostility displayed by a few

members of this list, as well as surprised by the willingness of so many to

offer either subjective opinion in the face of a request for hard fact, or

encouragement to go ahead anyway whilst I am in the midst of a discovery

vis-a-vis legality.


Thank you, John C., for your patience and generally gentlemanly demeanor in

what some regarded as a cat-fight.  I've done flame wars... I'm actually

quite good at them (enjoy them, frankly!)...  this was by no means any such

exercise.
