You misquote policy 4 as well Michiel. Let me quote it for you:

3.1  Make Available Difference Files and FidoNews
Any Coordinator is responsible for obtaining and making available, on a
weekly basis, nodelist difference files and FidoNews.

3.6  Encourage New Sysops to Enter FidoNet
A coordinator is encouraged to operate a public bulletin board system which
is freely available for the purpose of distributing Policy, FidoNews, and
Nodelists to potential new sysops.  Dissemination of this information to
persons who are potential FidoNet sysops is important to the growth of
FidoNet, and coordinators should encourage development of new systems.

4.1  Responsibilities
A Network Coordinator has the following responsibilities:
   1) To receive incoming mail for nodes in the network, and arrange
   delivery to its recipients.
   2) To assign node numbers to nodes in the network.
   3) To maintain the nodelist for the network, and to send a copy of it to
   the Regional Coordinator whenever it changes.
   4) To make available to nodes in the network new nodelist difference
   files, new issues of FidoNews, and new revisions of Network Policy
   Documents as they are received, and to periodically check to insure that
   nodes use up to date nodelists.

4.5  Making Available Policies, Nodelists and FidoNews
As a Network Coordinator you should obtain a new issue of FidoNews and a new
nodelist difference file every week from your Regional Coordinator.  The
nodelist difference file is currently made available each Saturday, and
FidoNews is published each Monday.  You must make these files available to
all nodes in the network, and you are encouraged to make them available to
the general public for download.
You should also obtain the most recent versions of the Policy documents that
bind the members of your network, and make those available to the nodes in
your network.  Policies are released at sporadic intervals, so you should
also inform the nodes in your network when such events occur, and ensure the
nodes are generally familiar with the changes.


And since "I" am not violating any copyright laws, "have a nice day".

I really don't care if I convince you of anything Michiel.  I'm not doing this 
for your sick amusement.

Ha, I knew it...  A thief in the midst..  Now your true intentions come out.  

This conversation is "over" Michiel.
