Reaching Duane Bibby
Stephan Lehmke
I've used images by Duane Bibby (taken from the TeXbook) on
some slides in a lecture (with copyright notice).
I suppose as soon as I publicise the slides in any form, I'm doomed
;-)
How can I reach Duane Bibby to ask about conditions for employing
these drawings?
regards
Stephan

you probably need to talk to addison-wesley-longman-whoever they've
amalgamated with this last week, rather than duane himself.
we (uktug) certainly _bought_ pictures from duane, and the copyright
now rests with us. aw (as was) being a rather (;-) larger
organisation are unlikely to have got a less good deal from him...
i didn't organise the purchase, but could probably put you in touch
with someone who _can_ contact duane if really necessary.

Ugh.
Ok, so I'll rather remove the images ;-)
Thanks for the hint.

They can. :-)
As I went through this for the lion, here's the capsule:
- the drawings are by duane (but he sold them)
- the book is by dek (which makes the copyright of TeX the lion a bit
complicated... :-))
- the book is published by Addison-Wesley-Longman (AWL) _and_ AMS (so
in theory they both have to agree)
- TeX is a trademark of the AMS (and MF of AWL)
AWL are the one to ask for the drawings in the book; but Duane is quite
happy to sell additonal drawings (as he did to me).
Duane can be reached at DBi...@aol.com
Best regards
