I think I would agree with John at this point. We
don't have everything finished and posting things might mess it up.
Also,
this was a rather complicated process and would take quite
a lot of documentation which might be boring to those who
are
not interested in doing it.
I suggest it might be better to continue to say
something inspecific such as "progress is being made" even on the SCC
internal
site until all the ducks are
in the bag.
At that point we can write up something about
"clearance has been granted by those who potentially had copyright interest"
without not naming any names. If others wanted to
pursue the method used, they could contact someone in the group
offline
for a discussion of how it was done.

Phil,
Somehow, I don’t
necessarily think it may be a good idea to post, but could be convinced
otherwise. I don’t want to keep a
quasi-public trail of the legal history and imply a precedent for all our
software, when fair use may more generally apply. Others seeing it may conclude that this
is the only way to go, although it certainly shows our (your) due
diligence. We simply don’t know where it’s
going. If you wanted to encourage
others to follow, you could always do that one on one. However, the overhead for this one piece
of software is frightening.

Re: BT response..
John,
Thanks for your help with this. It's
great to have one piece of the legal firmly in place and nailed down.
Hopefully, we'll be able to use this as leverage at both Boeing and
MCI/Verizon. Would you have any issue with our adding the PDF of this
letter to NLS/Augment restoration site document archives? At present, the
site is available only to SCC members and close friends (e.g. Henry
Lowood).
