State of Texas has (possibly) Illegal copywrite notice on the constitution!
Look at number 7 (and 8). Just when I thought that was assanine enough, I looked at the state linking policy.
The information posted on a state agency Web site may be copied so long as it is presented in a non-misleading way and does not imply that either the site owner or the information, as it is presented on the site owner's Web site, is endorsed by the State. Use of the information must identify the state agency that is the source of the information, its Web address, the date the information was copied from the state agency's Web site by the site owner and must be accompanied by a statement that neither the site owner nor the information, as it is presented on the site owner's Web site, is endorsed by the State or any state agency.
I thought we were free to mock public data and agencies any way we saw fit, and though proving they deserve the mocking by linking back to their site is a good way adding validity to your stance, it is not required.
What the hell is their an AUP like this for?
BTW, I was researching my own situation with the state constitution. Turns out the judge in my case did not have the authority to pass some of things he did against me because of this little ditty:
The Texas Constitution
Article 1 - BILL OF RIGHTS
Section 29 - PROVISIONS OF BILL OF RIGHTS EXCEPTED FROM POWERS OF GOVERNMENT; TO FOREVER REMAIN INVIOLATE
To guard against transgressions of the high powers herein delegated, we declare that everything in this "Bill of Rights" is excepted out of the general powers of government, and shall forever remain inviolate, and all laws contrary thereto, or to the following provisions, shall be void.
