Jack Butler's Original Evil Overlord List: Difference between revisions

{{quote| ''When I originally posted this list to the Internet in 1994, I did so without any awareness of Mr. Anspach, the Star Trek mailing list on which his version of the list appeared, or (later) his website. In the intervening years, I have no doubt been sent many entries which apparently had their origins on his list, just as he's been sent entries which originated on mine. Be that as it may, in an effort to be magnanimous and to reach an understanding with Mr. Anspach, I'd like to make it clear that I no longer believe that he stole the list, but rather came about it honestly, and in a similar manner to the way I did. Fandom being what it is, this is not totally unexpected. Of course, the very existence of this list, which Mr. Anspach acknowledges is not an infringement of his copyright and is a separate entity entirely, makes his copyright moot. All one need do is say that one is quoting from the list below and Mr. Anspach and his copyright can go hang for all the legal world will care. This is because the following list isn't copyrighted to anyone, as we didn't think to copyright it while we were creating it. If you enjoy it, feel free to pass it along or post it anywhere with no strings attached. Add to it, subtract from it... whatever. We don't care. Because we're nice that way.''}}
