Better ask the author. Failure to do so could get you sued. You
might well lose such a suit.

: some of the people have lots and lots of mail, and I don't think they have
: time to read even more.

Believe me, almost anyone would prefer the courtesy of your asking
first, no matter what their mail load is like.

:       This newsletter is free, we give it away at our meetings and we also
: put it in the stores for customers to just pick up.

Especially if you do a general distribution, you'd better ask.

:       If I may do this, what should I say about the article?  Something
: like, 'Reprinted from Usenet' or something along those line?

Ask the author and do whatever he tells you to do.
