[Foundation-l] The reality of printing a poster

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
So you are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. There is the license
and the uploader AND it may be PD. The cost of adding this is not calculated
as there is no functionality (as far as I know) that does it. When I print
at my copy shop, I get a prestine copy. Remeber these are typically single
copies.
Thanks,
      Gerard
