Wishes/good intentions of a hobbyist versus intellectual propertyconcerns of a multi-billion-dollar corporation?
I don't get why there are concerns at all. My request is about publishing
unaltered documentation which has been publicly available earlier. I'm not
talking about Source Code or Application Programs which are frequently
withheld because the former may reveal security issues and the latter is
where the money comes from.
I fail to understand where there is any real harm done. I don't count
"losing control about publishing" as being harmful: I'm not the only one
who copied those documents when and where they were publicly available,
free of charge. Second, there are many more non-IBM sources on the net
providing public copies of documentation.
I think we know who wins this one.
To win means engage in a fight. I don't want to fight (a legal battle),
because using the legal approach means I'll loose because copyright is a
fact.
:wq! PoC
