Has anyone News about Mettes Work?

They would know, absolutely, the current copyright law for the internet. As
you write or have written for them, I presumed you would have contacts that
could quickly give the 'definitive' answer.

Linn's requires anyone who wants to republish something from Linn's,
either in print or elsewhere, to obtain permission before doing so. As I
said, I don't see where Linn's is involved in this particular issue. I
have no plans to ask their opinion about republishing Mette's pages.

BTW, I still write for Linn's regularly.

It looks like Toke Norby's post today in a new thread pretty much
settles the issue. We'll just have to wait...

I don't see either.

Yep, we were already trained during over 4 months...

Can anyone give information wether and where Mettes work found a new home?

Thank You in advance

Almost I regret my question, if I read this thread. I cannot imagine,
that this way of "discussion" equates to Mettes nature and her opinion
about a kind and friendly behaviour.

As long as motivsamler.dk will achieve Mettes legacy everything seems ok
to me. Just some words to "promises", "agreements" and "last wills" :

It is a basic priciple of law, that the last and newest verbalized "last
will" is the definitive one.

Mette had enough time to arrange what she wanted, and it seems to me,
she did it in a clear way with the arrangement with motivsamler.dk.

Honoring her work does not mean to struggle about it.

kind regards

Gerhard

In this case a kind and friendly behavior means assuming their obligation
and publishing her work. Isn't this correct?

As long as motivsamler.dk will achieve Mettes legacy everything seems ok
to me. Just some words to "promises", "agreements" and "last wills" :

If it will achieve the legacy then it will be ok to everybody. But the
passed 4 months is a long enough time for something that can be done in 2
days, by working at 50% on it. What counts is finally the result, achieved
in time. Or not?

It is a basic priciple of law, that the last and newest verbalized "last
will" is the definitive one.

Yes, but then in it all previous wills should be explicitly declared void. I
haven't heard about this so far. Have you understood it this way, by chance?

Mette had enough time to arrange what she wanted, and it seems to me, she
did it in a clear way with the arrangement with motivsamler.dk.

See above, please.

Honoring her work does not mean to struggle about it.

Honoring her work means publishing it. Had the motivsamler.dk published it
or promised to publish it after a reasonable delay then there were no
"struggle" at all. Has it done any of these two? Would you accept that the
site will be published in a few years, which wouldn't be necessary unusual
for an organization that, as we learned it previously, has a lot of things
on its ""to do list""?

Note. All these questions are not necessarily addressed to Gerhard only; I'm
just trying to clarify some things :-)

Not my battle, Victor, but, NOT. If it is unclear whether my aunt has
left me her car, or left another nephew her car, it is NOT OK for me to
go break into the garage and take it -- regardless of whether I think the
execution of the will is happening according to my preferred schedule,
regardless of how right I think I am, and regardless of whether I plan to
do only "good things" with the car.

The correct question is whether YOU were given the responsibility for
this, or whether you were not. If NOT, you need to just sit and wait.
You earlier made this argument, I believe, until it looked like you were
losing, when you decided an "ends justify the means" argument.

As I said, not my battle, but your fingernails-on-a-chalkboard screeching
in this matter is offensive to the ear.

The correct answer is that I was given this responsibility too. So what
should I do now, please?

Could you please tell me which is the non-"offensive to the ear" way,
excepting for continuing waiting for something that will happen in an
unpredictable future, this after already 4 months of wait? Please consider
the long "to do list" of that organization, for a task that can be done in
roughly one day.
