I am continually surprised by new knowledge -- that makes life interesting -- but I find this bit particularly surprising, not to say incredible. If "fair use" does not apply, then does "significant" need to be come "any"? One of the elements of fair use is the volume of quoted material -- so what now defines "significant"? _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
