Does the team have an opinion about this pending case before the U.S. Supreme
Court on copyright?

For example, an SDS record is a chunk of memory, e.g., did this, that and the
other, read an article, talked to Fred, heard so and so on TV, and as a result
did thus and so; or, it appears to impact objectives in the following way,
leading to following action.
After we figure out what happened, and what we think about it at first blush, we
then want to use that chunk of memory to communicate efficiently and accurately
to one or many people, so we point to it, with full attribution, in Knowledge
Space.
How is this different from calling folks or attending a meeting and saying,
"Gee, I read an article in Time, and another in Byte, where the authors say such
and such. Last week at the meeting Tommy mentioned a similar idea, and two
years ago a seminar discussed this in a slightly different light, in January the
Colloquium seemed to align with the prior seminar; but, guess what? The project
specs published yesterday for our new widgets appear to conflict. What should
we do?"
Information from books, articles, newspapers and so on, are all intertwined with
our view of the world, which is integrally part of daily communication. If the
Internet is to provide effective support for daily knowledge work, it needs to
support efficient communication, which means we cannot waste time asking
permission prior to communicating. The burden should be attribution, not
permission to use.
Is this what has Paul upset about permission to use?
