Good idea. Such clear and reasonable copyright statements make a lot more sense compared to the "standard" one which people don't really understand. You can also make your own concoction out of the 4 attributes of CC.

Btw, the titles of your uploads on yahoogroups aren't always easily understood at a glance. E.g. "correct.pdf". Wonder if you'd be willing to title them so that they are scannable. E.g. "Consent for Ordination".

It runs: "Digital copies of this work may be made and distributed provided no change is made and no alteration is made to the content. Reproduction in any other format, with the exception of a single copy for private study, requires the written permission of the author. All enquiries to:
