Not to mention innovative? Excepting the obviously camouflaged names, this is the statement that the author of a specialized new networking document proposes to append to the document. The document will be on my filelist, so I have a mild interest in its appropriateness, although the Listserv receiving interest in the copyright is at a far distant site. The author says that it's his intention, in the remotely possible event that his production should ever see print and receive royalties, that half of said royalties go to the designated Listserv to help defray the cost of its mainte- nance. He says that he doesn't see why software can't hold copyright if a trust, which is only a piece of paper, can do so. He doesn't want to assign copyright to the list itself because of the problem of representation of the list, which he thinks could only be resolved by incorporating the list - and that he considers to be a fruity idea. Let the flak fly. Kathryn Wright Indiana State University
