Re: How can an author get permission to use V1.1 IBIS

Kellee:

Please forward or have the author forward the release form to me.
I and EIA will review it.

As Arpad noted, Version 2.1 is the current ANSI/EIA-656 Standard
and the most appropriate one to publish. EIA owns the copyright
to this, but as a policy, will allow republication of this in
various forms such as Vendor's manuals, books, etc. A nominal
fee is required (which will go directly into the IBIS committee
account).

People who wish to republish ANSI/EIA-656 or portions of it
can contact EIA directly:

  Patti Rusher, Director
  EIA/Electronic Information Group
  2500 Wilson Blvd.
  Arlington, VA 22201
  (703) 907-7545

We could allow republishing Version 1.1. While it was established
as an official release, there have been text and other subtle
changes which render it almost as a working draft status for
the preparation of the official Version 2.1 release. We would
require a disclaimer that the official ANSI/EIA-656 Standard
contains substantial additions and changes over the Version 1.1
release.
