>
> To all writers of FAQ's
>
> We all find the USENET newsgroups FAQ's to be very useful. To
> encourage novice use of the Internet, and use of USENET, we are
> preparing to publish a book, in hardcopy format, that contains many
> FAQ's (about a hundred or so). This publication will alert novice
> Internet users to an often overlooked aspect of the Internet that we
> find so useful. We also believe that a book of FAQ's would be a
> useful stand-alone reference work; in a library setting it would
> expose people to some of the topics that appear on the Internet.
>
> The one remaining step in our publication process is obtaining legal
> permission to include the FAQ's in a hardcopy format. This permission
> has to be in written form, so: If you are willing to allow us to
> include the FAQ you have written, then send us your name, your FAQ
> name, and your snail-mail address and we will mail you a release form
> and a self-addressed stamped envelope so that you may return the form
> to us.
>
> For each FAQ that we use in the book we will re-format the FAQ for the
> HTML standard, so that it may be directly acessed through Mosaic.
> This should be of use to the Internet community at large.
>
> We do not wish anyone to have a false impression of the work we are
> producing. It is:
>
> 1) for-profit
> 2) will be copyrighted (with acknowledgments given to each FAQ writer)
> (We are only copyrighting OUR additions, corrections and
> reformatting. Each contribution will remain under
> its original copyright.)
> 3) will be produced in LaTeX
>
> If you have any questions or comments on this project, please feel
> free to contact either of us.

I give you permission to use the Southern U.S. Skiing FAQ from rec.skiing as you
have described above with the following additional conditions:
1. You state explicitly that the information in the FAQ may not be
entirely correct or up to date. That information should not be
used directly without first checking it out. FAQ information is
only a guideline.
2. You send me a free copy of the book.
As a matter of fact, you probably should do the above two items for all FAQs
you use and their authors.
