User talk:Legalize/Advice from Bjarne Stroustrup

Licensing issues?
I am concerned with the text on this page being a copy of Stroustrup's A Tour of C++. Has it appeared separately in a CC-by-NA or compatible source? --Cubbi (talk) 06:14, 5 October 2014 (PDT)
 * It would be best to mail him directly to ask for a permission. He would probably oblige. Kumiponi (talk) 13:43, 6 October 2014 (PDT)
 * He might, but there may also be restrictions placed by the book's publisher. Please email Bjarne. He's very busy, but let me know if he doesn't respond in a few days: I can follow up. --Cubbi (talk) 14:05, 6 October 2014 (PDT)


 * note: this is being discussed on comp.lang.c++. --Cubbi (talk) 17:50, 6 October 2014 (PDT)

Yes, I've removed the page contents until I get explicit permission from Addison-Wesley. I've emailed Bjarne directly and he's helping me work through permissions issues. Hopefully they will allow permission and I can reinstate the page. Honestly, I think it would only promote sales of Bjarne's book, but I'm not the publisher and it's for them to decide.
