BotNS Copyright Concerns.

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

[Posted from URTH, a mailing list about Gene Wolfe's New Sun and other work=

I've been wondering for some time now just how sensitive Tor and Wolfe would
be to the use of BotNS text and pictures. I seek two things that could be
taken as copyright infringement:

1) I want to go up to the local mall and get a t-shirt made with the title
page of UotNS on the front (you know, the handsome calligraphy like on the
_Soldier of Arete_ cover) and would not like to be confronted by a lawyer t=
he
second I put it on.

2) It'd be nice if someone or someones could begin a project of typing in t=
he
entire BotNS, including the UotNS, so that it would be handy for citation a=
nd
quoting when a person if authoring e-mail relating to it. This would most
certainly be seen as infringement if it was placed on an easily-accessible
web page, but I want it for the private use of those who already own the
BotNS and are just studying it.
