         I decided to put that on a separate page on the website under
the "license" link in the lower right hand corner.  The URL to the
Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 License is also in the beginning of
the pdf file.

         People were getting confused by all the links, text and
instructions on the site, so when I simplified the site, I put it on a
separate page.

         Do you think that effects the legal status?  99% of the open
source stuff doesn't discuss license until after you download and open the
package.

 	Also what about just including the URL instead of the full text of 
the license?  A lot of people tell me they won't read a book unless they 
can print it, so I was trying to save a tree.  But is the license it still 
binding then?

We meet at SUNY Farmingdale in Farmingdale NY (on Route 110.)  We have 
been around for about 8 years.  It's pretty big these days.  About 50 people a 
meeting and over 300 on the mailing list.
