This has been going on for a while, probably a decade or more. For a while, the major science vendors (including ACM and IEEE) ran very aggressive search engine spamming campaigns. It's also not uncommon for universities to require copyright and patent assignments from students, even when the student is not paid for the work and it's a mandatory part of the curriculum. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
