Re: VMs: Re: VMS images and copyright

Hi GC,

It's good to know that something like Ken is working on is fully in the clear, 
that's all.  Beinecke definitely deserves credit and our thanks.  The sid 
images are really cool!

(If they don't hold copyright, then Beinecke has no legal control at all - you 
can use and distribute them for free, for profit, modified, unmodified, 
whatever you want.)
