Dear Conch-lers,

Thanks a lot for all your contributions.
I agree that the Kaicher cards are still important and that a lot of us
would benefit if they were made available in any way.
However, I would plead for leaving them unchanged. Any attempt to correct
or update them would cause an immense amount of work to be done just to
have a resource like Hardy's Database already is.

Coming back to my initial question: Is it allowed to use some Kaicher cards
for non profit purposes on the web?
I do not want to infringe any rules/laws when publishing scanned cards on
the web.
