The CDs themselves are carry a note that it's okay to recopy them, as long as you do the whole CD.

In any case when I said, "... I do think they'd prefer we didn't distribute them ourselves ...," I was saying that I don't think we should distribute our LRF copies -- they wouldn't like it, and it's not right besides.

The other thing I was saying is that it's rather a different matter to convert it to an LRF myself, for my own use, and not give copies to anyone else. As I said, I think that scenario is part of why they give us the RTF option.

I've spoken out against possible, and actual copyright infringement many times on MR, and don't mean to give the impression that I've backed away from that stance.

I think you and I are actually in agreement on this point, Robert: we should not redistribute any contents of any Baen CD or any offering from Baen's free library, either in a converted or original format, without Baen's specific permission.

Does that about sum it up?
