That the foundation might benefit from our work is a very good thing. If the foundation ever wants to publish it for education or profit, I would certainly allow them to. I wouldn't have put it on the Internet if I didn't want other people to have access to it. I am very glad this idea has been raised because a relationship between the foundation and this project would be a good thing. I hope that they would publish it someday, or just use parts of it to promote the goal of accessability. But between now and then, I would rather administer (some) control of it myself. I already use and publish my tutorial for courses that I teach. Would I have to contact the foundation to get permission to do this in the future? What if the combined manual is not publishable for another two years. Perhaps in the meantime, a publisher wants to publish a portion of it. The foundation would have to negotiate with them on behalf of the relevant authors. The foundation might reject an offer that I would have accepted. That sounds like a hassle for all parties. It is better to let the authors do their own negotiation until the foundation feels it really wants to publish the thing for the foundation's own benefit, at which we could each give them a license. Or else we could each give them a license to republish the materials at the time we submit it. Pual Prescod DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
