I haven't a copy with me, but I'm sure I read a policy statement in
"Compute!'s ST Disk & Magazine" (what a name!). The label on the disk
clearly says that the only copies to be made are backups, by the buyer
of the magazine, for his/her own use. The programs are definitely not
public domain.

(By the way, said disk and magazine are pretty good. This month's
LaserChess program is A-OK.)
