You're roaming the web and want to find "take-away value," preferably for free.

I'm an artist displaying my wares -- my source of income -- in public where they could disappear.

How can we treat one another with mutual respect? Here is my policy.

1. To web surfers I grant permission to make up to seven (7) copies of material appearing in this site.

2. Copyright law permits teachers one-time use of material, one copy per student. So, if you see a use for this material in school or church, feel free to share copies with your students. However,

• Always display the author's name, statement of copyright.
• Cite your source, namely, the URL of this website.
• Don't revise or condense a text without the author's permission.

3. To make reproductions for any other purpose, obtain the author's permission.

• Don't be reluctant to inquire. I won't make it difficult. Reply
• Pay any royalty fee negotiated for multiple reproductions. Fees will be based on the number of copies you desire and your ability to pay.

4. Here's the official legal stuff.

• These electronically-transmitted pages belong to the author, Philip M. Bickel, and are offered for your personal use. All rights are reserved.
• Except for seven (7) complimentary copies, these pages may not be duplicated or reproduced without the express written consent of the author. Exceptions include one-time classroom use and brief excerpts or quotations for purposes of review.
• The information contained here may not be incorporated in publications, databases, or software programs without the written consent of the owner. Such use would be a violation of United States copyright laws.
