We went through this a while back.. As I recall, (and I'm NOT a lawyer),
copyright belongs to the author for at least 50 years, sometimes 75, depending
on if anybody know who it is and whether or not they are dead. Regardless, we
haven't even come close to the minimum time needed to make free use of a
copyrighted program.

For all you purists who can quote the law, leave me alone.  The basic idea is
right, anyway.
