But is the data file using the same version you are quoting here? We don't know. Also, does that mean that other rights are not reserved (like the right to sell the rights to someone else, or the right to tape the whole dictionary)? I don't know, and I should ask lawyers. > * Digital redistribution is not prohibited, as it the only way > to redistribute a book has been "printing" when the book was > published. I understand your point, but if it doesn't explicitly forbid something, does it mean it allows everything else? Does it then allow throwing the dictionary at the author's cat and killing it? > * As a digital text merly is not subject to the copyright law, > but the information in it is, I can't confirm that.

No, it hasn't been. There was some photocopying, there was recording, there was film. Did the copyright holder want to allow those? Does the law allow her/him/it to prevent someone to do that? We don't know. roozbeh _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
