Not to be a smart-ass ... but you better stop now, Dave. Commercial publishers snarf PG stuff all the time. I bought a lovely two volume set of all the OZ books for my son last year. As we were reading it, I noticed some typos and such. On a hunch, I compared the typos to our files. They are snarfed PG text (and didn't even proof it again) and stripped the PG notices and printing a book. Personally, I don't have a problem with commercial interests using PG/DP stuff. As long as they don't try to claim an additional copyright (which they sometimes do) or leave the PG trademark in place and not pay us (which I've never actually seen). Josh

Because I do books for PG, Pro Bono Publico.
