As a regular user of Compuserve, I know of no restrictions on redistribution
of material downloaded from Compuserve that was not generated by Compuserve
itself.  This obviously includes all material uploaded by users of Compuserve.
This is not only my opinion but also the opinon of the sysops of MACUS.  Can
anyone offer a quote from Compuserve that suggests that there are restrictions
or is this all just hearsay?
