I remember that nutcase Nathan Mates. The sad thing is that he was actually an agreeable fellow, and contributed a lot to the community before he went on his ALL PIRATES MUST DIE streak.Seriously, there's almost no market for Apple II software these days. I'm surprised there isn't more of an open-source attitude among developers, working together to keep the community alive, rather than all this ravenous bickering over the last few remaining dollars in the community.Is software like Proterm still making the authors a reasonable sum of money? If not, how come it hasn't been open-sourced?
That's a decision the copyright owners, only, have the right to make. While it might make sense to you and me, they have the right not to do so. Even if it only makes enough for a Big Mac each year.
