Yes it does. Sorry, but you are making up law out of your imagination. You probably should do some reading on copyright if you want to opine authoritatively. Seriously. I don't mean this as a putdown. But it would be like if I opined on how z/OS worked based on my imagination of how it worked.

No one is disputing the copyright, nor the copyright holder. There's no attempt here to capitalize on the copyrighted work nor to profit from its use. Copyright protection does not preclude redistributing the information or sharing it with someone else. The copyright isn't being threatened and a copyright is not a license. A book is copyrighted, but I can easily sell it, without violating copyright laws because that is how books are used. This is precisely what happens when one downloads a PDF from the IBM web-site. It is certainly copyrighted material, but it is not a copyright violation to send a copy of it in an e-mail to someone else. The information has been made publicly available, so the ideas are copyrighted, but not the physical distribution media itself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
