Maybe a little tiny misunderstanding here...

The Spectrum 512 that most people refer to is the Spectrum 512 slideshow
which _is_ public domain.  It shows all of those fantastic colors too.

It is available on GEnie and Neil (Harris) has posted at least 15 nudes
which were digitized by someone else.  From what I have seen, feel free
to distribute the slideshow (but check first, it _is_ on GEnie).  Would
anybody be interested in the slideshow program and a few pictures on Usenet
to see what this puppy does?

The way they look at it, free advertising, eh?  ("See all the pretty
pictures?  You mean I can do that too?  Where can I buy the program?")

The Spectrum drawing program is _not_ public domain and is available
throught The [Antic] Catalog.
