True. Although, it might turn out that /is/ public domain. According to Kent Pitman: Lars Brinkhoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > How about the Common Lisp dpANS documents?

Documents do exist (but are not on display publicly) that would show that the legal intent was to have placed them into the public domain, even though we botched the final execution of that. A good intellectual property lawyer would tell you that this means the legal status is messy, but what that really means (I believe) is that those who paid for its creation could (hypothetically) have grounds to make a claim that it was encumbered in some way, that is, to assert that they have some right of ownership. But since all of those parties at one time or another signed into this system of contracts identifying that the intent was to make a public domain document, I don't personally think they would succeed. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
