Declaration
by Alex Kahl
To Organizations Involved in Direct Marketing
Version Jun 6 Copyright (C) 1997 Alex Kahl
TAKE NOTICE of my permissions regarding messages to
me and use of information about me.
This includes solicitations by mail and telephone, and rental of my
name in lists.

Declaration of Permissions
I ask that organizations who may wish to make solicitations
to me or to provide information about me to others first check the the
appropriate line of the List of Organizations below in order to determine
my permissions concerning such acts. Where the categories overlap the last
line whose description is applicable should be considered as the appropriate
line. These permissions remain in effect until I change them by issuing
another Junkbusters Declaration or other explicit instructions to that
effect. If a URL is specified in the Identification section, organizations
involved in direct marketing are encouraged to check it periodically for
revised versions of this Declaration. Each such organization is addressed
as ``you.'' If the line ``Permissions apply to all residents'' appears
below, ``me'' and ``I'' should be interpreted to mean all residents at
my address.
-
If the line begins with a ``D''
I deny you and your agents my permission to send me solicitations by mail,
and I specifically request that you include my address(es) below in any
and all ``do-not-mail'' lists under your control.
-
If the line begins with a ``P'' I permit you to
send me solicitations by mail.
-
If the line begins with a ``W''
I permit and encourage you to send me solicitations by mail.
If one or more telephone numbers are listed in the Identification section,
I deny you permission to make telemarketing calls and other unsolicited
calls including market research surveys to such numbers, and I specifically
request that you include any and all of the numbers in all ``do-not-call''
lists under your control. I also deny you permission to provide information
about me (other than than the contents of this Declaration under the terms
of the GPL) to any other entity. I specifically request that you include
my name on all lists you maintain of consumers who do not wish to to have
their names rented or shared. However, depending on your business practices
this may not suffice to ensure that you do not use my name contrary to
my permission, so I ask that you take all other necessary steps to ensure
that neither you nor your agents acting on your behalf do this. If one
or more electronic mail addresses is specified in the Identification section,
I deny you permission to send solicitations by email to such addresses.
Notwithstanding anything above, I offer you a license to use and distribute
the information in this Declaration under the GPL, and I also adopt the
standard exemptions published by Junkbusters Corporation as if written
in the body of this Declaration. I reserve my rights in the event that
you act contrary to what I have told you I permit. Without in any way limiting
these rights, you are advised that I regard 90 days from the date of your
receipt of this Declaration as more than ample time for you to make the
necessary preparations to ensure that you do not act contrary to my permissions.
