[comp.windows.x.motif] copyright on OSF/Motif

I am amused to note the copyright on the certification checklist; while
the instructions give explicit permission to copy the checklist during
the checking process, no permission is granted to copy prior to that
blessed event.  This makes the checklist useless in the context of the
design and implementation phases, and makes it rather unlikely that the
application will pass.

It seems that utility would be served by adding permission to copy the
checklist to the copyright supplement with the same sort of provisos as
used for the Style Guide and Environment Specification, that is, that
they may not be changed in any way except translation.

Since the certification process is intended for non-licensees as well,
perhaps another permission method (such as printing blanket permission
to copy without modification into the front matter) is more
appropriate.

Failing that, how do I go about getting permission to copy this
document for use during design and implementation, or would you prefer
to send me enough copies for each of our people to have one?
