Wow, Brian, you will not be invited anymore to any International
Conference sponsored by Database Companies, be careful (and
they sponsor all of them...;-). After all, this is sponsoring with
your (our) money, and maybe the fees are slightly lowered (?).
Alternative is : no sponsoring ; database cost decreasing ;
and you use the saved money to go to the Congress : I prefer that
alternative to the current situation.
This discussion is a cyclic one. And the conclusion remains the
same : please do not send any coordinates at the mailing list
(anyway, this is boring) but answer privately, you will so have some
chance to not violate obviously the copyright (change a dot
somewhere) and make your good (or bad, depending of the
point of view) action of the day (Alan is tired to repeat this, I take
the relay).
The best is to have no friend so that you will not be tempted
to violate laws.
One thing is sure, if you send the whole database attached to
a mail posted at the Rietveld Mailing list, you will not only
overload our mail disk space, but also quite surely violate
the database copyright. Only this could awake the database
owners sufficiently for obtaining here their opinion.
Best,
Armel Le Bail
