C'T Magazin fuer Computer & Technik has a kind of readers mail column. In this column ("Leserbriefe" C'T Januari 1988) a letter appeared from a German reader asking about the same thing : Copyright/Using the code published in the magazine for public domain purposes. The answer of C'T was : "We have no objections at all, It is the purpose of publishing these algorithms/programs to make them available for everybody to use them in their own programs. We would only object if the programs published in C'T would be used for commercial purposes." Furthermore most magazines have a kind of ownership agreement for code published in their magazines. All publications of software (source code that is) is no longer "owned" by the author, but is the magazines property. I believe that C'T uses this convention as well. So I think you can go ahead and make the program accessible via ftp on your server... | Peter Peters | UUCP : wsinpp@lso.win.tue.nl | | Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE) | SURF : heithe5::wsdcpp | | Dept. of Mathematics and Computer Science | VHF : PA0PPE | | Disclaimer : I said WHAT ??? | TUE : HG 8.86 tst. 4283 | Footnote by Timo Salmi: Thanks, Peter, for getting the information, and letting me use your message.
