- Well, as Kick 1.3 and 2.0 isn`t available for A1200 or A4000, it might be legal
- to use a romfile with skick, as long as you own a legal copy of the Kick 1.3
- image in any form. (A1000-Kickstartdisk or 1.3 Kickrom)
-
- Anyway it`s rather silly to diskuss copyright problems with kick 1.3, as every
- Amiga comes with a legal copy of a successor Kickstart.
-
- Even Microsoft wouldn`t sue you for copyright violation, if you legaly own
- a later version of the same program.
