From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

does anyone have a decent screencap from "The Void" which shows the charter on Janeway's screen? I thought some was prehaps readable (or perhaps he text could be found through the art department?) -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 21:04, 19 Dec 2004 (CET)

[edit] copyvio?

I don't understand what copyright was being violated, the posted charter is simply the United Nations charter language with Supreme Assembly replacing General Assembly and Federation Council replacing Security Council. And I would argue that it is canon given that it is written in the Star Fleet Technical Manual created by Franz Joseph Designs. -- User:Jstealth 23:03, 22 Mar 2005 (EST)

Except that it originates from someone else's work, correct? The exact content can be found at several websites - I believe it originates from a fanon publication in the mid-70s/early-80s? That makes it a copyvio. In addition, the SFTM is not accepted as a valid resource at Memory Alpha, except in the case where information has been seen on screen, see Memory Alpha:Canon policy. -- Michael Warren | Talk 05:12, 23 Mar 2005 (EST)

I wouldn't say it originates from someone else's work, really. It origniates from the United Nations charter, which is open for everyone's use. I can understand better it not being accepted as canon, but the Canon Policy isn't clear for the Tech Manual. -- JStealth 12:55, 23 Mar 2005 (EST)
