John Toole just copied me on a note that he sent to the CHM legal
department concerning NLS/Augment. It is really great news, and puts us
another step closer. (01)
Rayleen, any chance we can have a "preliminary" version of the code
packaged by the meeting on the 14th? This doesn't have to be the final one
we deliver to CHM, just one that our group can use internally to do an
initial test install on another machine to work out issues that are bound
to arise. Please let me know on this. (02)

Legal Committee, (04)
The Software Collections Committee has undertaken a project to work with
Doug Engelbart's NLS system, and we needed rights to the source code.
Lew Platt agreed to help, and I just received the note from them which
would give us the necessary permissions. (05)
It appears that they are assigning all the rights to us, then licensing
back, and the language seems to give us what we need. (06)
Would you please give this a quick read and let me know if there is
anything that we should ask to amend?? Would appreciate a reply NLT
June 14th - the team is ready to move out on this. (07)
Thanks! Here's another good precedent on software rights issues. (08)
--John
