It would be interesting to know if ISO or ANSI have the pocket change required to go after offenders. It's one thing to have IP; it's quite another to defend it. If the codes are published in a public location and the copyright states 'free for non-commercial use' the means of loading it are irrelevant; the status of the loading agent is. The copyright owner states the restrictions and reserved rights. len From: Chris Wilper [mailto:cwilper@c...] Hmmm...I wonder how hard you have to make it for your customers to use the codes in order for it to be legal. For instance, is giving them the exact URL and an "import" program upon install going too far? Or would you have to give them the URL, but written instructions on how to import the data? If #2 is ok, I bet the instructions would have to take at least an hour to follow in order for it to be legal. ... which is to say, this whole thing seems a bit fuzzy to me.
