Fair Use : Four prongs or five?

The section on Fair Use includes the phrase "four prong test", which is immediately followed by five bullet points! David Haslam 13:32, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Form letters

I suggest that the form letters be moved to a separate new page, so the main article length is reduced. David Haslam 13:42, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Avoiding duplication in copyright lobbying

We need some sort of notification system to tell others at CrossWire when someone has initiated lobbying for a particular text, merely to avoid the embarrassment of having other volunteers duplicate the approach to the same copyright owners. David Haslam 17:04, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Form letter for Go Bible users

We need to draft a form letter template for Go Bible users. This will need to cover the subtle technical point that Go Bible is not a direct Frontend for the SWORD engine per se. The template should be worded in such a way that (if successfully lobbied) will result in obtaining permissions for distribution both as SWORD modules and as Go Bible applications for mobile phones.

Why do we suggest offering to pay a small fee at this first approach?

The form letter templates all include the clause, "not only to pay a small fee to be able to use your work under .......". Why do we suggest offering to pay at this first approach? Wouldn't it be more sensible to leave this to subsequent correspondence? David Haslam 20:26, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
