That's a good idea, I would like to hear what a librarian thinks about lending GPL media also. But I think the task would be to find a librarian who knows about and understands the GPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html#GPL).
Adam Melancon, do you know any librarians locally who could talk about the GPL and Free and Open Source software? My wife is a librarian so I will ask her as well. Is there anyone else on the list who has a close association with a librarian or a library? Maybe the group or all LA LUGs could draft a letter to the State Library asking them for an official position. This would definitely help boost momentum with the FOSSILE project (http://fossile-project.sf.net). John Hebert -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin W.

I understand some are worried about copywrite problems and similar difficulties.
