Mike...

The story goes back several years.  But it essentially started with Dr. Tom
doing some sector editing to make someone else's work out as his own.  A lot of
developers were extremely offended by that, and even though Dr. Tom has been
pretty much on the up and up in recent times, they haven't forgotten it.  Nor I
doubt they will ever forgive him for it, or anyone who associates themselves
with him.

That aside, regarding your file libraries, the issue within this group has
generally been divided into two camps.  One camp is of the opinion that
anything that's not in production is fair game and should be available to
anyone until the copyright holder says to pull it.  The other one's opinion is
that nothing should be posted until the author or copyright holder gives
permission first.

Both groups are committed (in their own way) to keeping the Apple II alive and
.  The difference is the first group doesn't really care how they do it (or who
they step on), and the latter group cares enough (and patient enough) to take
all the proper steps first.

The question to ask is which camp do you want to be in?
