To me it looks like two parties are so principled they put down their principles in extensive writing, and those got too complicated, and eventually tangled up. So now they are - at least here - contra-productive. Anyway, I have some book-creating skills, both groff and LaTeX and the physical side to it. So, can I print the Emacs or Gnus manual, make a book of it, and then take it to the libraries of my city and insist they put it somewhere so people can borrow it? Would that be legal? If it isn't, I don't care for such a stupid law, but the libraries would not accept "illegal" books. -- underground experts united
