NetLandians,

I need some advice from you all or perhaps any publishers on the net.
(Byte, are you out there?)

Code, articles found in magazines -- can we type them in and upload them,
distribute, etc., as Public Domain (assuming, of course, we'd keep all
credits, bibliographic information, etc.)?  Specifically the Spreadsheet
listing and article in the latest Byte.

Alternatively, is it acceptable to ask the publisher or copyright holder,
case by case, for permission, and do it then (including their permission)?

The wonderful Dr. Dobbs is Public Domain by its very nature and heritage,
and we commonly see things from there ... but what about the others?

I'd like to share the wealth; it SHOULDN'T hurt the magazine if we wait a
month or two before uploading (won't directly affect sales very much
that way).

I'll be glad to consolidate opinions for the net, and forward responses
from any specific publisher if desired.

Regards,
David Kirschbaum
