(1) it's still on the market
(2) it shouldn't have been there in the first place because of (1)....

Why do some people (not necessarily you) feel the need to criticize
others over this matter?  i would have thought that it was cut-n-dried
a L-O-N-G time ago...

it seems to ME that if a program is still being sold (whatever the
incarnation), then every attempt should be made to research and obtain
permission FIRST before posting it anywhere.  this method gets a
little more "grey" (and by definition, more difficult) if the company
is out of business...  that's why i like the work that Willie Yeo and
company are doing with the Treasure Chest.  (sorry to drop names,
Willie.  yours is an example of GOOD things at work!  <g>)
