    Darn good idea. I see a lot of the current problems stem from (or are
 exacerbated by) poor quality representations of the original source material.
 
    What if we created a sponsorship deal of some sort? Buy a page for the VMs
 effort, have your name permanently recorded on the margin of the image provided
 via the web. Make the resulting pages available free to all but under copyright
 to the VMs group, stipulating that they may be redistributed only without
 alteration.
 
    I'd buy a couple pages.
 
    I don't know anything about non-profits, but if it was possible to make it a tax
 deductible donation, a lot more people might contribute. I bet there's geeks
 abounding who'd like to buy a small page of infamy.

hi all :-)

"under copyright to the VMs group"?, I'm not a lawyer, but can one
copyright something they don't even know what it is?? 

Can/should I 'copyright' this reply? 

Why try to copyright it in the 1st place if it is NOT Yours/Ours??
 
 
If I bought a "slave" or pet bird, Is it R E A L L Y Mine? 

Voynich _just bought_ this Ms. Can we copyright all the books we have
bought on our bookshelves in our home & office? (what if the very 1st
line (finally DEcoded) of the VMs says "COPYRIGHTED King Zyxxyggy"
(ouchey!) ha.haa

The plan to procure more color images (and clearer) in detail IS still
a good one though. I too would help buy a page or two.

Best to you & yours
