It didn't seem to hurt the Macintosh any that PostScript was under the
control of only one company (permanently, and not just for one year). My
guess is that GoldDisk only has the control over the fonts, and not the
technology, and anyone who would want to create "Compugraphic Compatible"
fonts, couldn't be prevented. Besides, it is my understanding that Gold
Disks contract was only for one year. A year beginning when? When ProPg
1.3 was released? Hey, it's really not that long. I don't think
Commodore, if they really get the Compugraphic fonts in 1.4, would let Gold
Disk strangle the technology, and I don't think Gold Disk would want to.
They can make too much money off of "licensing fees" or whatever.
