I  would  definitely  not assume that  if something  is published by a
German computer magazine, it is not proprietary or  not copyrighted by
a third party.   German magazines have a  disregard for copyright laws
that  is second to none in  the whole world (a  example: the otherwise
excellent "c't" actually published a complete disassembly  of AHDI.PRG
and the author of  the  article put his own  copyright notice on it!!!
(not to mention the various patched TOS ROM's that you can buy)).
