[ih] Re: Copyright Violation Claim

[Ole J. Jacobsen]

Let me see if I get this straight:

For the first 6 months you want the widest possible distribution, to get
comments and feedback. At this stage the document is certainly public if
not "in the public domain".

Then after 6 months you want the document to be unpublished and
un-retreiveable, and anyone serving copies is in violation of copyright.

I understand perfectly WHY you want this mechanism and don't disagree
with its usefulness, but from a publishing perspective it's really weird.
