I do not know the copyright angle, but as background, "Distribution of this [document] is unlimited" is often used in work products for US governments in reference to non-copyright restrictions -- export controls, sensitive or classified information, proprietary content, and so forth. Because of that, I would not consider it a reliable statement about the applicable copyright license. Michael Poole -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
