#387 and #388 in the objects list are part of my old site,
it's fine to license the objects on them CC-LGPL and
to archive the site. (my PW was locked out in 2001)

#387 is the home page and doesn't contain objects directly
#388 is the link page, and has 4 objects/macros (targeted at
POV 3.0), I've already cleaned up rewritten and submitted
2 of them to the object collection, I'll try to get the others
up there too.

Here's the thread where the permission was given. Might want to link to 
that thread.

The source for the POV-Ray Links Collection has been posted on the Wiki:

Ok thanks. I've added that link into my spreadsheet.

The permission specifically refers to the objects, so doesn't explicitly 
cover Sabrina archiving the geocities content. Having said that, the pages 
relate exclusively to the objects, so I can't imagine he'd have an issue 
with it.
Could you contact him again to see that he's aware of the geocities closure? 
If he's already moved or is planning to move his geocities content it could 
save Sabrina some unnecessary work.

I also noticed that the permission for the objects covered GPL (CC-GPL) and 
BSD whereas the Object Collection is on the CC-LGPL (the Lesser GPL) 
license. I think this is probably ok, because I think the BSD is generally 
more liberal than the LGPL and I believe it authorises you to 'trade-up' to 
other, more restrictive licenses, though it would probably be polite to draw 
his attention to this distinction. The GPL license by contrast is stricter 
and doesn't authorise redistribution under an LGPL license.

Chris B.

I got one from your EeePC just a few minutes ago, but the timestamp shows as 
being today 28/09/2009 13:24. I didn't get anything from you yesterday. I've 
added the addresses you found into my spreadsheet. Thanks for that.

Regards,
Chris B.

ok then that part got lost, possibly due to me attaching
a list instead of including it. I'll try it again now.
