Mort rest assured he has no clue of what is involved in the duration and 
renewal of copyright. I can envision matt as one of the school administration 
types you described in one of your past postings. What is the probability of 
a text (such as a math/physics text) being suitable for use when and if it 
ever goes out of copyright? Can you imagine seeing your book on a web page 
someday and discovering that someone had made a few alterations to its 
content in the process (and of course no would be the wiser that it had been 
re-worded)?
