Does Niles (or any other software distributer) have a policy on the use of
their product for producing material that will be sold separately by
another commercial organisation?  I don't want to knock down this proposal,
but it seems on first light to be legally dubious.  Many other users post
bibliographic styles and even data bases that are available free by
anonymous FTP, but this proposal states that the database will be sold. In
addition it was my impression that Netiquette precludes advertising  in
this form.  Niles please advise!
