Copyrights

There's another issue, which is copyrights. I run a group of religious websites and one has a chart I prepared comparing Protestantism and Catholicism. I occasionally check the Net for links to my sites. I was quite surprised to find that the chart has been included in a curriculum for high-school-level home-schooling from a major California university. I don't have a problem with it being used (it definitely comes under the "fair use" exception because it is a small part of both my site and the curriculum), but I was never contacted about copyright permission, etc.--something that definitely WOULD have happened if a commercial publisher wanted to use the chart.
