  All very helpful. I'm a lawyer and I work mostly with technology-based startup companies. I know some about copyright but its not my field.

   

  I think all of us associated with EI should be free to use the corporate wisdom. I like what Marilyn wrote. Of course, it would be absurd for someone outside our group to claim an exclusive copyright. We would have many witnesses as to where the original work came from.

   

  It does belong to all.
