George, could you clarify the copyright/public domain status of the stuff in
the data libraries? In particular, should I refrain from posting ATERM5 to
another system, such as the University of Michigan's MTS CRLT:AMIGA
conference? In the case of ATERM5, there is neither a copyright nor a public
domain declaration in the source or in the directory header, but a copyright
is asserted when the program is run and the HELP key is pressed. Do I take
that to mean "don't pass on copies", or "don't pass on copies for profit"?
Maybe there is a general policy stated somewhere in the bulletins or
elsewhere that I don't recall?!
