Note that I have gotten 2 or 3 emails asking me about the free CD-ROMs.
I am just a FAQ writer who noticed the comp.newprod posting and forwarded
to a group where I knew there would be some interest (either in the
existence or in the free copy offer). I can't help with the legalities
or with sending out free copies.
Ask info@cdrom.com for free copies. They have a standard policy of
giving a free copy of any of their CDROMs to any author of anything on
their CDROM. It seems to me that people could pick on a worse company
for copyright violations.
And further, if you didn't explicitly say "Distribute only via FTP on
the Internet" or "Do not distribute on CD-ROM", you got what you
deserve. When I put together the Packet Driver CD, all I did was to
check every file for copyright permissions. Only one author had an
explicit statement. I asked him for permissions and got them. I
assumed boldly that everyone else didn't mind (because if they did,
they would have taken precautions).
I don't feel that I was out of line in doing this. If YOU do, please
spare the mailing list and flame me directly.
