[Hammarlund] Fwd: Hammarlund Rights

[ken at savage99.com]

Duane, you are correct.  To obtain the rights (copyright, trademark, etc.) 
is a complex legal matter.  I think some of us are referring  to publishing 
manuals (either on the internet or hardcopy) that are in the public domain. 
Anything published before 1989 and not carrying a copyright mark was in the 
public domain immediately upon publication (with a few exceptions).  This is 
how BAMA and others who publish these early manuals are able to carry on 
business.

73,
Ken
