Question,
Magazines like STFORMAT offer a free cover disk. Are the contents
of the disk to be considered public domain ? Can I upload copies
of the program onto BBS systems ?
Some programs have a .DOC file associated with them that specifically
states it is PD others do not. Since the S/w is being given away 'free'
with the mag, what are the rules ??

Hi, Jonathan,
Most of the programs on cover-disks are PD, but not all. For example,
the recent full version of GFA Raytrace is not PD; and though some
50,000 readers of ST Format now have free copies of it, the copyright
is reserved.
I don't know whether it is the magazine's responsibility to state the
copyright. I presume it would be.
Regards,
Carl
