- No, just because the co. went out of business (or into hibernation,
- or the aliens took them away or whatever) doesn't mean their software
- has magically lept into the Public Domain. Where do people get
- this notion anyway? I see it over and over on the net. "Hey,
- MumbleCo. closed their doors.. why doesn't someone upload all their
- software to Aminet?"
-
- Unless whoever owns the copyright to the program chooses to release
- the software for free, they still own it. Even if you can't reach them.
- Even if their offices are closed and they're sipping Pina Coladas
- on the French Riviera.
