No prob. You're certainly correct, but I tend to speak in absolutes for the benefit of newcomers. I've noticed that well meaning but overzealous new adopters of the OGL concepts sometimes think the OGL means they can start photocopying and trading all published products. Best to discourage that right away ...

Sorry Faust, I blew it. I should have clarified my point about de minimis
usage (which clearly does not apply to the copying of an entire text in any
case). The doctrine of fair use applies, but de minimis usage is inapposite.
I was trying to say (and failed utterly to do so) that one could reproduce
_parts_ of text provided the use was limited and appropriate. I think I
should have left the point out entirely, or structured my post better.

Note, however, that I did concur with your general tone and intent, which
seemed to be saying that the person in question probably shouldn't be
soliciting others to send him full electronic copies, particularly not if
he's planning on compiling things for either distribution or personal use.
