I was disturbed by Bernard's comment. His list persona is
not of the judgmental kind, in a legal sense.
And it's not that I am without guilt on the topic of using bootleg
software properties.
But I don't think it is becoming to suggest a physics professor is
fomenting a theft. And there is a question about fair use,
copyright subsistance on a 1964 work, and indeed consideration
of Professor Feynman's self evident reaction to a request of this kind.
A question that I find helpful in situations of this kind:
is Bob Fenstermacher's intention to make a commercial profit, or
to avoid a legitimate commercial charge for purchasing
an educational item?
I think not. If it were, he would rent once and copy.

That's asking for violation of copyright.

I don't think it has to be read that way. Maybe Bob would rather buy (i.e.
own) than rent.
