Mike replied to me the following:

''Certainly Nathaniel, I certify that I am the original author of the article "Seven tiers of Disaster Recovery" that is hosted on the http://recoveryspecialties.com website. Some or all of this information was then submitted to the Wikipedia. This information was submitted with the appropriate permissions and no copyright problems exist. Will that do it?''

I replied:

''Unfortunately, it is a little bit more of rigmarole.

As long as you are okay with people being able to cut/paste and edit the article, you can do the following to release the copyright:

Thankyou for the liberal license.

Note: I don't claim expertise in this subject matter at this point. --Pinecar (talk) 00:26, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
