Does he have the blessing of CMP (DDJ's current owner and copyright holder)?
CMP is generous about granting permission for using material from its
archives, but this is much larger than the usual request. I might be able to
get the contact info for the appropriate permissions person if anyone wants
to pursue it.
In related news, DDJ itself is going through a rough patch at the moment--ad
sales are 57% down from last year.

As the author of the index explained to me in private e-mail, he started
doing the index commercially in 1988, and as he wanted to get paid to do
it, he decided to start in January 1982 since he needed to get something
going right away and Jan/82 is around the start of the IBM PC, so it would
be commercially relevant as well.
At any rate, I've proposed that we turn this into an open source type
project and are discussing it now.
