Yes.  George did not say he copied Boris' images.  He said he remounted
them in a different format.

I would not think of copying Boris' images and reselling them or even
handing them out.  That would be wrong (i.e. a copyright violation)!  I
would not have a problem taking the slides I purchased from Boris and
remounting them in a different format just as I would not have a problem
cutting out the pictures from my "Hollywood 3D" book and mounting them
on cards for 3D viewing.

Boris, would you mind if I remounted some of your 2x2x2 slides in a
realist format?
