Maybe this problem could be handle more easyly by the OHF, I guess that a manufacturer can be keen to "give" the doc for educational purpose. Though, that don't imply in itself a right to distribute the doc, but at least there's the doc, like in a library. Moreover, I guess that will be a part of the bargain from TT with its differents suppliers. If that don't result in a right to distribute, at least the info could be part of the customer support. > > _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
