Re: [DML] Copyright laws

[Vin 5386 <delorean_stainless@xxxx>]

Usually a credit is fine, though some publishers use a
gag clause to limit this and one has to write for
permission. I never use gag clauses in my publishing
contaracts but others infact do. Do not assume that
just because a company is no longer in business that
the meterial falls under public domain. some contracts
have a predetermined length of time. A document with
writen permission is your best protection. If I cannot
personaly aquire a writen and signed release from the
said copywrite holder I will not use the quote. Just
my .02 from a publisher :D
