It is common-sense attitudes like this that ensure that lawyers earn
such an AWFUL lot of money...
Seriously; if Haynes decided to get upset about this (and who's to say
that a Haynes employee/director doesn't read this newsgroup?), then you
would be in deep trouble. Off the top of my head, I can think of two
or three reasons why they might be violently offended at you breaching
their copyright in this way.
On the other hand, if you can get a release, then I will be delighted to
buy one. Please put me down for an Extra Large.
