Phil,    (01)

I'm like to follow up with Simon to obtain a written statement from BT, 
but first I'll need some help from John and/or CHM Legal.    (02)

In particular:    (03)

  * I think the statement below sounds pretty good, but I'd like some 
legal advice from the CHM legal side that this is a strong enough 
statement (since BT probably doesn't own any rights anyway)    (04)

  * Who should the statement be addressed to, what is the address info, 
and such.    (05)

  * Is there any other additional legal paperwork we should try to get 
from BT while we have the chance? I think it's going to be now or never, 
so we should use this slim window of opportunity while we can.    (06)

Please advise.    (07)

Thanks,    (08)

Jonathan    (09)

Jonathan,    (011)

I've checked with our legal people.    (012)

If the Computer History Museum needs a written statement from BT then
they should ask in writing to:    (013)


     Mr Peter Ratcliffe
     pp C5.A
     BT Centre
     81 Newgate Street
     London   EC1A 7AJ
     UK    (014)


We can say:    (015)


     So far as BT is concerned, BT has no issue with the Computer History
     Museum using such NLS/Augment copyrights in a not-for-profit
     capacity for the benefit of the general public. BT makes no
     representation or warranty as to such use.    (016)


Regards,    (017)
