I'm assuming that you mean for the HP-16C. If so go the the HP Calculator
museum (http://www.hpmuseum.org/) and buy the set of manual CDs. That's the
only place where you're likely to find one other than $$E-Bay$$.

I don't know if they're exactly public domain but HP has given their
permission for peeople to copy them and sell copies and PDF copies. Dave

well the CD I would imagine is nice but for the kid that finds the calc at
a garage sale and just wants to play I doubt he would want to buy the
cd... I still think there is a place for the downloadable version!

HP hasn't given "people" permission to do that. They gave Dave Hicks
permission to do it. They might give permission to other people if
they were asked, or they might not.

There's only one way to find out. Ask them.

Got any idea where/when that happened? From personal correspondence
with Dave Hicks, I know that he specifically requested and received
permission, but I have not heard of anyone else doing so, nor of any
blanket permission. If they have in fact done that, it would be quite
useful, but it doesn't seem like something that HP's lawyers would be
likely to do.

I've got contacts within HP's legal group. If we can define the scope of what
we'd like released; i.e., calculator and computer manuals before 1980, or
whatever, I'll be glad to try to get their release under HP copyright (I
wouldn't bother to try for public domain).

Server space is easy. I have 300 GB (not MB, GB!) of server space I'm not
yet using. But can you afford the bandwidth to serve up something that will
be in high demand? My server has connectivity sufficient to burst to
nearly 100 Mbps, and I've actually seen transfers across the Internet at
better than 60 Mbps. But if my 95th percentile bandwidth goes above
256 Kbps, I start paying a lot more.

No, not exactly but that's what I was told at one the HP calculator
conferences a couple of years ago. I think it was Richard Nelson that told
me that.
From personal correspondence
I don't know if they're exactly public domain
but HP has given their

HP hasn't
given "people" permission to do that. They gave Dave Hicks
permission to do it. with Dave Hicks, I know that he specifically requested
and received
permission, but I have not heard of anyone else doing so, nor of any
blanket permission. If they have in fact done that, it would be quite
useful, but it doesn't seem like something that HP's lawyers would be

Why not? If they're going to let Dave copy and sell CDs then why not let
everyone do it?

Ya gotta try to think like a lawyer to understand stuff like this.
To a laywer, granting any sort of permission to any party potentially
creates liability. Does granting permission to reproduce old calculator
manuals *really* create any liability? Probably not. But NOT granting
permission definitely doesn't. Thus the answer "no" is the safe answer,
and the one legal is most likely to give.
To get an answer other than "no", you usually have to have someone inside
the company (but not in legal) championing the cause. Granting blanket
permission for everyone to do something is seen as even more potential
liability than granting permission to one person or a group.

No, HP holds the copyright. Why would you think it would be public
domain? Almost *nothing* is public domain, especially since the US
ratified the Berne Convention. Between that and Congress routinely
extending the term of copyrights (so that the copyright on Steamboat
Willie doesn't lapse and bankrupt Disney), the only way things enter the
public domain is if there owners take positive action to place them
there. :-(
