Is this a valid (i.e., legal) interpretation of the word "publish"? My
interpretation is that you make a work available to the general public
for it to be considered as "publishing" (hence the etymology of
"publish" which means "to make public"). So, conveying your work to a
another entity and not the general public does not count as
"publishing".
