Everybody should note that I had no idea this would actually be distributed.
Showing it at SIGGRAPH displayed some carelessness on the part of the Amiga
booth, but distribution would clearly be a copyright violation.

Also note that the disclaimer, while well-intentioned, is meaningless.  The
only meaningful phrase is "Copyright 1987 Pixar", which we obviously can't
allow since Leo's animation is not licensed nor endorsed by us.  This isn't
to pick on anybody, but we cannot be selective about enforcing a copyright
or we lose it.  A lot of people, yours truly included, put in a long summer
of 80 to 90-hour weeks to make "Red's Dream", so you'll forgive us if we're
protective of our baby.  Thanks for your cooperation.
