Who knows what unexpected restrictions are going to be placed in these articles. I think the only safe solution to this problem is to change rnews to automatically throw away all articles that contain a copyright notice. That way, there's no danger of accidentally violating the copyright. Maybe we could exempt certain newsgroups like the sources groups where these notices serve some useful purpose, but the rest could be trashed with no loss. -- Greg Paris ............................. gmp@rayssd.RAY.COM (a UUCP domain) {cci632,cbosgd,gatech,ihnp4,linus,mirror,necntc,uiucdcs,umcp-cs}!rayssd!gmp ...................................
