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. Don
