> Diane,
> As people are beginning to write their grant proposals and as you and ACF
> share "samples" of successful previous grants on your sites, this might be the
> time to remind folks to utilize "sample" grant proposals PROPERLY and legally
> - that is, use these as "a sample", rather than taking content. Here is the
> info from the "copyright basic" information of the U.S. Copyright Office:
> 
> "Copyright protection subsists from the time the work is created in
> fixed form. The copyright in the work of authorship immediately
> becomes the property of the author who created the work. Only the author or
> those deriving their rights through the author can rightfully claim
> copyright...Copyright is secured automatically when the work is
> created,and a work is "created" when it is fixed in a copy or phonorecord for
> the first time...The use of a copyright notice is no longer required
> under U. S. law"
