That's what I thought. It's just that, with some of the content it's a bit 
difficult to spot the authorization, so I've been taking a note of any 
authorization I've spotted as I've been grubbing around on the site and in 
the files for the small subset of 16 sites I've been looking at in detail. 
I've also been keeping a note of authorizations received via this newsgroup 
or that I received via email in my spreadsheet. For the work you're doing, 
that's solely in case you find any of it useful and it's only for the subset 
of 16 sites that I've been digging around in.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to update the list on the 'freewebsites' 
host because it hasn't let me FTP to it for days. I've now got responses for 
8 of the subset of 16 sites that I've focused down on, either with 
permission to put content on the object collection or with news that the 
site is being relocated by the author.

Ok. That sounds good to me. Does your list include the sites on the 
'tutorial' list and the 'utilities and plugins' list?
