Hi Edward and others,

I do agree with Marc that it is okay to share. It may not have been 
created for sharing or the creators may not have intended like that, 
but in this part of the world, everything is shared. Well, almost all the time.

PS: I live and work in a wild life sanctuary in western India for the 
past 18 years, working with one indigenous community on soil and 
water conservation, alternate energy and rights over forest resources.
