Fresh from the "Who asked you?" department...sorry, but I must agree with<br>
Rogier. I was at one time a corporate "leak". It took some convincing to<br>
get the boss to agree to releasing the documents and when he did it was<br>
with the caveat that allpeople receiving the documents agree to not<br>
disseminate them. That was a almost 2 years ago and since they saw that no<br>
harm came from it they now post them for download on their own server. <br>
<p>
The point is that the decision should be left to the company, not the<br>
developers. Forward looking companies will eventually come to a more free<br>
approach, but until they do you should rely on the "nod and a wink" form<br>
of dissemination. <br>

<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Right. David has offered space on the "sane" ftp site, but he agrees</i><br>
<i>&gt; with me that we better be sure that they want it published. </i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; The hint that they don't want it published is that they don't give it</i><br>
<i>&gt; out to everybody who asks. There has been quite a while when the state</i><br>
<i>&gt; was "We asked for docs, but all requests got refused or directed to</i><br>
<i>&gt; the bitbucket".</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; The person who obtained this material just might have missed out on</i><br>
<i>&gt; the hints that I've seen. I have no power over you: I cannot threaten</i><br>
<i>&gt; to fire you. So my remark is a friendly remark, to think about what</i><br>
<i>&gt; you're doing, and not put someones elses job (specifically the one</i><br>
<i>&gt; that is able to get us docs we need!) on the line without thinking</i><br>
<i>&gt; about it.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Besides, it's not as if I posted it on yahoo, its existence WAS only</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; advertised to members of this list.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Yes, but with the search-engines that exist nowadays, you don't know</i><br>
<i>&gt; who will stumble over your site 24 hours from now. </i><br>
