I have to agree with Burhkard here. It may have been an unfortunate choice of words, but "transcribed" is a form of copying. If it's an important enough source of information, even if the words are different, it would be wise to have permission. Oddly, I just spent some time on both linux-tipps.blogspot.com and www.blogspot.com, and although I didn't see any copyright notice, I also didn't find any mention of what if any permissions to copy exist. Although that post is almost three years old, perhaps posting the question as a comment to the post would get a response from the original author. Jack
