Oz WB PCBs - now available - Or how I screwed the list

FYI, Australia is a signatory to the Berne (?) convention on Copyright.
That convention says that Copyright is established as soon as
something is first published. I believe that the USA is also
(finally) a signatory.

A Copyright notice serves to identify the holder of the Copyright
and the year(s) of publication. Copyright exists in all published
material unless explicitly surrendered.

i.e. even though there may not be a Copyright notice, Copyright is
still held by the author unless the author chooses to give it away.

The necessity of including a Copyright notice (and "All Rights
Reserved") is because of the USA's tardiness in signing the
convention, allowing the work of foreigners to be exploited in the
USA without compensation to the author, unless both notices had been
meticulously included.

Peter is doing us a _favour_ in Australia. His local production of
boards means that we don't have to mess around with overseas
payment, postage, customs clearance and taxes.

I believe that there are about 8 W.A. subscribers to the list.
An estimate of 20 subscribers for the whole of the country would be
quite conservative.
