I would agree that it's legal, but the time and materials are hardly the justification for it. He could put it in a secured area of his server and sell a download and that would still be legal, in spite of the fact that he really didn't do much of anything. About the only thing that I am concerned about with this is if these re-sellers are selling "support" that just may be only signing up their e-mails to this list. If that's not fraud in a legal sense, than at the very least it gives some the false impression that their money actually bought support _from this list_ and that we are somehow bound to answer their questions first, as opposed to anybody else. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
