3. RIGHT TO COPY
Beginning January 1, 1985, Digital customers are given a right to copy, at
no charge, any Digital Archival Software Documentation Publication
(excluding restricted or third party owned) that we no longer offer for
sale. However, the copyright is retained as the exclusive property of
Digital Equipment Corporation.
