Well, since William basically said that anyone could do what they wanted 
with his slides (if I recall correctly; is that right, William?), I 
think he basically put them in public domain, which means that these 
issues are resolved.  It would help if he explicitly said that his 
slides on such-and-such server are in public domain.

Then there are no copying issues and copyright issues (at least in the 
U.S.).  You could then put your slides (your original slides and your 
modifications of William's) in public domain with no problems.
