Let's take the advice of Owen more seriously. In the past, too, it has been
discouraged to attach any copyright material for correspondance on this
forum. And now, let's make it a practice to avoid even reproduction of the
Standards/Codes (international or organisation-specific internal ones).
As oneof the moderators of this forum, I thank Owen for his proactive
suggestion on this issue. Also, Kannan has clarified to this mail with some
more input for benefit of the group-members.
Best regards,

Dear All,
My advice stands. What you might choose to do within your own company is
one thing - I'm sure your company lawyers can help you on matters of
copyright. What you post to a world-wide, public group is another. For your
information, I am a registered member of this group. If the originators of
the group intended it to be a private, internal group, they shouldn't have
done it through Google - it's the gateway to the entire world!
I think that this is a very useful forum and a splendid way to share advice
and information - just please be careful about copyright issues. The API in
particular seems to be very hot on them. If you buy a digital (PDF) version
of their specs now, single-user versions are literally that - you'll only
be able to install it on one machine and you can only print it once. Which
is great if your printer runs out of ink half-way through. I've gone back
to buying paper copies.
I do consulting work on various oilfield problems and I teach materials,
corrosion and welding matters to M.Sc. students at the Robert Gordon
University in Aberdeen, where they are VERY sensitive about copyright
issues.
Regards to all and keep up the good work!
Owen Jenkins.

Dear Mr. Kannan,
I don't think there is any problem in sending the attachment all across as
we are doing with our company and to other companies. Since these are soft
copies of the docs. which we are circulating we are not breaching the laws
of copy rights in any case. These attachments are circulated for sharing
the knowledge and not for destructive activities.
Regards,
S.N.Dave

Dear Friends,
A non- member has posted this message. I am sorry on posting a part para
of the API code for better understanding.
I think and suggest to this group, as does yahoogroups, it would be better
to avoid even attachments.
I request all others to follow suit and take this seriously as I have now.
Again sorry to all members and moderators for causing to be noticed by
someone somewhere.
With regards,
Kannan Sundaram.
