Yes, that is exactly my point. One should distinguish this two points. 
Actually there is some weird copyright issue involved also (I have to 
look it up, but I think it had something to do with some propaganda 
material belonging technically (via law continuation) to some authority 
in Bavaria which used that as a trick to avoid it getting propagated... 
but I really have to look it up, my memory is very fuzzy on that.)
