[net.lang.st80] Smalltalk 80 license question

peterr@utcsrgv.UUCP (Peter Rowley) (09/21/83)

We've obtained the license forms from Xerox for the Smalltalk virtual image
and it seems to say that all ST80 programs written with the system belong
to Xerox.  Has anyone else made this interpretation of the license, and if
so, how have they reacted to it?  Is such a clause enforceable?
