John Pate asserts copyright of all original works authored by him. Copyright notice is contained in the meta tags of pages:
<meta name="copyright" content="Copyright (C) 2009, John Pate">
Other authors may be noted in this manner. If you can't find this tag, it's because I'm not aware of the original authorship for whatever reason. Where the content is clearly public domain, and there is a copyright notice to me, I assert copyright to the HTML layout/markup used here. Anyone with copyright quibbles mail me and say your piece. I'm generally game for an argument.
