Subject:	Copyright FAQ V1.1.3 Available
Date:	Thu, 6 Jan 1994 16:40:36 EST

There was recently a question about submissions to corp's
and the copyright issues. This recently arrived in my
account so I decided to forward it here. It may be helpful
to some budding individual wishing to submit something
to a corp.

Enjoy!
