None whatsoever. :-) Just like sending you a paper copy in the mail, with no obligation of confidentiality as such; the copy is yours, feel free to read it, use ideas and facts from it, quote from it under "fair use" standards, or do anything else you're permitted to by statute and convention. Feel free also to use your statutory right to pass it to another person (not retaining a copy), or request permission (which I will actually be happy to give you in advance) to make a few copies for friends, business associates, whatever. But don't represent it as your own work, don't "publish" it in a way that would obstruct its publication in a journal (more or less, a way that would have affected its copyright status under pre-1976 law), and don't claim that I authorized you to represent me for any commercial purpose or to quote me as an authority in any legal sense. Cheers, - Michael
