On 15 Jun 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] scribbled a note about Re: [Ogf-l] Employee mistake scenario:

Ahh!! That is the whole point. Did the individual release it, or did the company? The company posted it on their website, the company is the one who actually released it, and they most certainly had the authority. The individual worked for the company, and was acting on behalf of the company in releasing sections of the SRD. Therefore, in this capacity, he effectively was the company. Now if the employee released it on a separate website, or published it on his own, that would be different, and they could claim that he did not have the authority. But it was released by the company, on their corporate website. Therefore, since they have the authority to release any of their IP, TM, etc, it is a legal release, and the term is now OGC.
