Date: Wed, 26 Jul 1995 09:12:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Karl Auerbach <karl@cavebear.com> I'm not so much enamored with "public domain" as with "free use". In other words, I don't care if a document contains materials which are "owned" by someone as long as everyone has the ability to freely use the ideas and to elaborate upon them. I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but I understand that the Free Software Foundation's legal agreement that people sign when they turn over software ownership to the FSF stipulates as part of the agreement that the FSF, and its successors, are specifically barred from ever restricting the free use of the software. If there was a way that people who were going to be handing control of their documents to the ISOC such that the ISOC's hands were permanently bound from ever trying to charge for the documents, that might satisfy people's wishes. - Ted
