Poetry, once again, many thanks for your work on this.  I'm not sure I understood all that you wrote, but I am sure that I don't understand all the ramifications of what you wrote.  One thing I definitely do understand, though, is how lucky we all are to have someone like you who not only has the energy and determination to take this up, but also the DLI background and familiarity with copyright issues to be able to communicate effectively with those who are in a position officially to assist or, alternatively, make things difficult. 

It strikes me that your library work, as well as your and gdfellows' transparently altruistic motivations in trying to break these materials lose and make them available freely, in contrast to those who are just out to make a quick buck from the work of others, ought to help greatly in convincing the powers that be of the rightness in making these materials available.

So once again, my hat is off to you; you'll have a very great many people in your debt if this effort proves successful.

hi there

i am a new member from Egypt , i am interested in learning languages and the FSI  free online courses    i know that FSI is an independent institute, and it seems that they are the only source that release such free courses   i have read about your great efforts to release the DLIFLC courses  i don t have much information about the services that US government offers in that field


  can you give me more information about any language courses other than FSI  that were developed by the US government ?

and please inform us about the advances you make in DLIFLC issue , i think language courses  developed  in the 1980 s would be a great help to avoid the unused vocabulary in older versions of courses

thanks again for your efforts!!!
