nagel@paris.ics.uci.edu writes: Is ClariNet in violation of Rick Adams B News copyright if it uses B News as the transport layer? If so, will he instead be providing his own version of the news software or will he be getting (or buying) special permission from Rick Adams to use B News? The clari.* hierarchy is apparently being based at UUNET, The Land of Adams. I think that answers the question. But two other things are important here: [1] Brad hasn't said what *his* personal low-level transport is. He may well be using C News, the copyright of which does not preclude commercial use (I just checked). [2] Anyone else's use of B 2.11 is not affected by whether they're paying someone else for what they receive using it. This is to say, it's just like rn - Brad doesn't distribute it himself, and doesn't care what underlying transport any receiving site uses. --Karl
