Copyrights can get murky too.  Back in 1995 I downloaded an intro to 
TCP/IP from somewhere on the net, and the following year I found the 
exact same article on DSNlink, but this one had a Digital copyright 
notice.  I have no idea where this article originated, but it seemed to 
be standard practice that anything published on DSNlink had the Digital 
copyright notice.
