Of course, this isn't an official interpretation, but it's part of all Apple Software Licensing agreements that I've ever seen. (Those people who would like to ship ProDOS or GS/OS with their own software need to contact Apple's Software Licensing dept. at (408) 974-4667.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matt Deatherage, Apple Computer, Inc. | "The opinions expressed in this tome Send PERSONAL mail ONLY (please) to: | should not be construed to imply that AppleLink PE: Matt DTS GEnie: AIIDTS | Apple Computer, Inc., or any of its CompuServe: 76703,3030 | subsidiaries, in whole or in part, Usenet: mattd@apple.com | have any opinion on any subject."
