- Octave 2 (_the_ one licensed distributor apart from the M$-Forum on
- CompuServe) told me that B&P Pro was declared "freely distributable",
- but that it must not be put on any Freeware/Shareware-CDs nor on any
- BBSs/ftp servers. (Reason for asking them was that we wanted to put it
- on the upcoming Meeting Pearls IV CD-ROM; no such luck.)
-
- Other that that I believe spreading it is legal. (What else could
- "freely distributable" mean? Is Micro$oft already redefining of words
- common use?)
