The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the BIOS is part of the devkit, so it is
not public domain. You can find that information in various books
about the ST. However, the GEMDOS guide and the Pexec cookbook have
both been posted to the net in the past, and I think the Pexec
cookbook was even actually released to the public. However, I'm not a
lawyer.

The bottom line is, don't be so snappy.
