Public Domain

Public domain software is absolutely free.  It is written by the author for
fun/to make a name for himself/because he cannot afford a commercial
program/because there is not a commercial program.

It can be obtained through PD libraries, where you may pay a little for the
price of the disk and the management of the library.  Normal costs are
around £0.99 per disk.

PD can also be downloaded using a modem.

PD can be distributed as much as you like but the source code usually
remains the copyright of the author.

This program is an example of PD - it costs nothing and may be distributed
freely..

PD is only very rarely found on the PC but it thrives on the Amiga.
