Yes, that's how I read it. >Seems like way too broad a copyright >notice to publish on the web! Doesn't seem so unusual to me. If your purpose in writing is simply to communicate your ideas to others, your attitude will naturally be "anyone can reprint this so long as I get the credit", which is essentially what this notice says. It's sensible to state it up front; otherwise you either field a bunch of requests or don't get reprinted. The one thing that's missing here is that notices of this sort often include an explicit instruction that the article must be kept intact and not edited. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
