I seem to remember an ink requirement, but that's fine. There IS still a requirement for ink and paper. The contributor has to print the papers, sign them and scan or fax them. But this does not require snail mail. Actually, it is not enirely a requirement. The contributor can paste per signature into the file and thus avoid the need for printing and scanning. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
