Hi all,

Greetings from 40 degrees below wind chill factor Boston! BBrrrrrrrr. I
have a question, I recently contracted with a new client and was asked the
following:

>I have a question: Do you place any restrictions on what I can do with the
>results of your research? At present, my plans are to provide my relatives
>with a family tree stored on a CD-ROM. I do not have plans for publishing
>any other way at present, but things are changing very fast and I don't want
>to be prevented from exploring other ways of sharing this information.

I obviously told the client that since he's paying me, any documention I
find belongs to him to do whatever he pleases, as long as he uses my or his
own citations and sources. After I answered him though, I started thinking
more about his question.

I'm curious, especially in light of his point about rapid and constant
changing technologies, as to how others would have answered this question?

Thanks!
