Click-wrap licensing for print media

[Kent Mulliner <mulliner@ohio.edu>]

While on the fringe of this list's focus, the following is an indication
of the absurdities surrounding e-licensing and how they may affect other
media.

The February 2001 issue of American Libraries contains a 19" X 25" poster
from the US Postal Service.  On the bottom, following a list of sponsors
is a note: "Written authorization from the USPS is required to use,
reproduce . . . [republish, etc] or PUBLICLY DISPLAY THIS POSTER."

Inexplicably, it was not labelled, burn before opeing.
