Re: emc copyright??

Art,

Jon's advice to talk with Fred is good.

But in this case, FREE REALLY MEANS FREE!

As I said before, just don't violate international treaties,
and "other" US laws.

You CAN sell EMC! AS EMC! Or as anything else you want. And you don't
have to give ANY credit to ANYONE. Having said that, your customers
might get a little "bent" if you're not adding any value, when or if
they find out. And the people you ask for help at NIST "might" not
think as well of you...

The ONE area in this you DO have to be careful is the "add-ons"
created by NON-Gov't employees: Ray Henrys' "backplotter", for
example. I don't know under what "terms" he has released this code
under?


The whole "stated, anyway :-)" point of EMC is to improve the
manufacturing industry in the good ole US of A! By providing
the "next generation controller" to machine builders, retrofitters
and manufacturing concerns.

Hope this helps.
