hello,

we are preparing an sbir grant application for delivery first week in june,
to provide audio books for the entire gutenberg collection of novels,
stories and biographies [ i.e., that is our "test case"].

the copyrighted works at gutenberg australia are to be included,
and the owners of those works will be paid a royality as a percentage
of the purchase price.  .mp3 royalties will also be paid.

to be delivered as .mp3 cds that are downloadable and are free of
copying restrictions, as long as no resale is involved, including 
tying the audio work to a subscription or any other service offered for a fee.

unrestricted use for non-profit fund raising.

platform independent.

just mp3, txt and vanilla html and pdf.

is there a disabled organization out there that would like to partner with us?
gutenberg, gutenberg australia and gutenberg radio are the only partners at 
this point.

mike eschman, etc ...
