[AZ-Observing] Re: Attn ATMs


Generally stuff produced by our government is not copyrighted (we own it
after all) the only problem is when it contains parts of copyrighted
material.  I am sure there are exceptions to this, but unless the
material is specifically identified as such it would be difficult for
anyone to pursue legal options against you.  Just be nice and pull it
from the web if contacted and they can show what is copyrighted.
