Dear Dave,

I fail to see how the copyright is disputed, as I am the owner of the original letters of McLaren to Maas. Additionally I am the creator of the digital images. These letters have never been published anywhere and are in my possession and are in fact my personal property.

Picture one, I believe is licenced as:

'''I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby release it into the public domain. This applies worldwide. In case this is not legally possible, I grant any entity the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.'''

While picture two I believe is the Wikipedia standard GFDL Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no Back-Cover Texts.

Anyway you look at it, I have provided these pictures FREE! So I do not understand what your "bitch" is all about?

I can only believe that there are some people out there, when they start to see the truth with their own eyes, refuse to accept it. They will therefore try anything to suppress it. Just another form of sabotage.

I hope this cleared things up for you.Bigjoe5216 (talk) 02:00, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
