I'd think everybody invloved with these debates and discussions on this
newsgroup would know that and not even and not even question such in any way.
I fully agree with it. In fact - had I not released the titles
I and iWSW had the copyrights to as public domain, they could have remained
copyright - freeware and I could have withdrawn freeware status and made them
shareware or commercial for that matter - if I so decided. But, as everything
we could do with them had been done by us -
I decided to release them to the public domain - in the hope that others with
more skill and talent could make improvements with them.
To date - nothing has been done with any of them :(
Cheers,
Tom
