Perhaps you need to check your facts before you post as well..

The free stuff was known as Beagle Oldies and included the following titles:

Alpha Plot, Beagle Bag, Frame-Up, Pro-Byter, Pronto DOS, Silicon Salad,
Double Take, Tip Disk #1, Shape & Font Mechanic, Flex Type, Beagle Basic,
DOS Boss, Big-U, D Code, Fat Cat, Extra K and Utility City.

And to quote the paragraph after the list in the Beagle Catalog:

Yes, these programs are free. But please don't give away any programs
other than those listed here.

Having seen the Asimov site, I can tell you that they include A LOT more
than those listed above.

Scantron/Quality Computers still has the rights to most of the other
Beagle Apple II Software.
