Re: History of PAM Deal (was Re: [AGA-mcm] Re: [AGA-sc] Dave & PAM)

Hmmm, maybe just make the deal hinge of DG getting
permissions for future reprinting from all of the authors
so no legal issues can pop up. If legal issues can pop up,
then future rights aren't worth much.

If he can get all the permissions, he'll probably decide he
should hang onto them, if he doesn't then, it's very
reasonable to turn down the deal.
