the definitive copy in ACM's Digital Library, and (4) a notice that
the copy is posted by permission of ACM and may not
be redistributed. (See �2.5, �2.6 regarding CoRR, and �3.2.)
This condition prohibits mirror sites, which makes it unacceptable. I
hope authors will reject this condition.
When I have published articles in ACM publications, the ACM did not
push the point (which would have resulted in my saying no)--it
accepted unlimited nonexclusive rights, which was no problem for
anyone. I urge other authors to insist on this as well.
He mentioned to me that the CoRR initiative, described at
<
http://www.acm.org/pubs/copyright_policy/>
and <
http://www.acm.org/corr/> has been extended up to June 2002.
In short each SIG is free to experiment and put their papers in
electronic form in a free repository hosted here
<
http://xxx.lanl.gov/archive/cs>, with a perpetual free availability.
When papers are posted in this archive, do they permit mirror sites?
