Key words there: "adequate environment". The goal is to create this "adequate environment" so that Apple ][ software can run without theApple-copyrighted ROM code.
The adequate environment was only meant to say one which works.
This is one goal the developers of Dapple][ are working on - allow the use of Dapple ][ with or without ROMs. I can at least claim fair use for emulating the //e on my PC, but alot of other people can't. This is for them.
If the rom images for an Apple][+ come on the DOS 3.3 master disk, and you have a legal copy of the DOD 3.3 master disk, why don't you have the same right to use those files you do for the system software. I read the license in the user group PDF and it doesn't restrict the kind of computer you use the system software on, only that you use it on one machine at a time and don't reverse engineer it. It seems if you have enough legal copies of the system disk you are ok at least with these ROMs. Possible other ROMs are not so lucky.
