giving them permission, or you permission, to copy anything I write in
the Rec.


This is such a public forum, you know you are being archieved. If you want
privacey you can communicaate via email.

I agree with others, a lot of people make websites a collections of
techniques they want to teach to others. I have seen permission to copy,
rarely a "do not copy" but largly it is not addressed. But knowing what I
do of some of these people, they wouldn't mind at all. I think they would
view it as "still teaching", so long as proper credit is given. And it
isn't being done for commercial gain. Yes, I think that is a factor too.

A few years back someone tried to bound and sell a bunch of "useful threads"
from a newsgroup,
and created all kinds of controversy by doing so. I don't recall how it
worked out,
but there was no shortage of opinions about the issue! : )
