Hi Craig,

You might have missed my point re: copyright.

Many definitions that are currently used, are actually (c) of the  
standards organisation that defined them. This means that we can't  
copy the definition for our our use - even though they are extremely  
relevant to our discussion. Example may be standards organisations  
definitions of risk, hazard etc.

I am not too concerned with regards to the copyright of our own  
contributions however, as I consider this to be a public domain  
discussion.

Cheers Gavin
