There we have the copyright ghost again ...
For the record ... anything that anyone writes, by the virtue of writing it,
has a copyright attached to it. Even this message.
I have been writing for technical magazines about aviation and enviornment for
years and had to deal with copyright all the time.
You know, in a commercial environment it is much less of a hassle than in this
not-for-profit environment where several little Napoleons want to be the expert
because they know how to cut-and-paste from Wikipedia or whatever.
Randy Bush has threatened to sue me over this so I told him "I'll see you in
court then" which was the last I heard from him when he left by stating that
Fidonet was nothing else but a cat's litterbox smelling like cat-urine. (in
those words)
The same thing, Tom Jennings copyright and Trademark is not worth the paper it
is written on nor the time to even discuss it... and he probably would even
agree ...
FTS1 was never updated because the Grand Poobah decreed so .... and the FTSC
accepted that.
