Go to http://www.copyright.gov/ As I understand it, at least in the USA, whenever you write something it *is* copyrighted. You do own the copyright to a requirement that you write and submit to IBM. Or your company does if you wrote it as part of your job. Perhaps you mean that when you submit a requirement that you should explicitly authorize IBM to publish it in any manner that they see fit. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
