Jon,
WRONG!!!! Please read the message base. CIS does NOT claim ANY rights to
your software. What they do claim is the compilation copyright…in other
words. They state that any one of the databases is a compilation of
individual works and as such may not be downloaded as a whole and re-posted
on another network. The individual files are controled by the AUTHOR
ONLY! If the author of the individual file either places it in the public
domain or places it in the freely distributable copyrighted material
category, then you MAY download it and distribute it. If the AUTHOR (not
CIS), places the material into limited distribution or exclusive
distribution, then you may NOT download the file and re-post it.
