Re: Open letter to Apple ][ hackers Re: Official and LEGAL ways to emulate Apple II?



I seem to a problem with this logic. If you bought an Apple II+, which came
with DOS 3.3, based on what some people are saying, each owner would then
own TWO legal licenses of the ROM???? Even if it's legally correct, I doubt
that's what Apple had in mind.
