RE: Students and copyright

[<wford@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Asli,

You were told to ask permission from the author merely to
"reference" his or her table? 

Also, what were you going to do if he/she said no? Skip the
discussion of the table? Find a new topic entirely to write
about? And is your institution's excessive enthusiasm for
asking permission limited only to tables? Why not quotations also?

only asking cause, I was confronted with a similar situation
as I wanted to reference a table in a scientific paper and had
to ask the author. I really don't know how it should be
legally handled, but I guess asking the copyright-holder is
certainly ok.
