The 'keydrill' program recently posted has a copyright statement in
it. (It isn't a legally binding one, but we're talking about the
spirit of the Law, not the letter.) Before posting, I called the
company listed in the code and asked for the permission to post it.
The person I spoke with stated that they had no such program, thus the
copyright was not put there by them and it was OK to post.
Today I spoke with the president of the company who confirmed they had
no such program, but said the program *may* be based on a book he
publishes, and thus *may* infringe on his copyright -- he won't know
until he sees the code, which I am sending him (on paper, since he
does not have an Amiga). After he has examined the code he will
decide if a potential copyright problem exists.
In the meantime, please delete any copies of 'keydrill' that you may
have in your possession, and notify anyone who may have received a
copy.
If it turns out that the code is once again OKed to post, I will
re-post it.
