Creating and distributing? Creating derivative works is a right reserved to the copyright holder. You violate the copyright owner's rights simply by *making* a derivative work (in the absence of a license to do so). It does not matter if you intend to distribute it only to people already licensed for the original work.
Please save the flames: I am not making up the law, just reporting it.

Where can I find this in writing? May I distribute such derivative works at least to other z/OS licensees? I suppose it's my responsibility to verify the license. I wonder how much code on cbttape.org is derivative of SAMPLIB or of examples in reference manuals? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
