How does HP allow things like this on ebay? Message #1 Posted by Gene on 23 Feb 2003, 1:05 p.m. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3009583223&category=11712 The 12C manual sold on a CD. If we all did this, would HP notice? Gene

Re: How does HP allow things like this on ebay? Message #2 Posted by Joe Edwards on 23 Feb 2003, 3:20 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gene Whether it is legal or not completely depends on HP's stance regarding their old calculators. They have allowed the calcs ROMS to be used in emulators, if I am not mistake, so they may no longer care. You would have to contact HP regarding the issue. It is no longer a copyright issue if HP give the go ahead. Joe

Don't think they've released manuals of current calculators to public domain, however Message #3 Posted by Gene on 23 Feb 2003, 3:45 p.m., in response to message #2 by Joe Edwards They tend to be more "possessive" of their current offerings.

This guy is selling a PDF version of the HP-12C manual while the 12c is still a currently sold product. Gene
