TITLE: Re-distribution License for Workbench stuff Those of you making software products should be aware that Commodore offers a re-distribution license for Commodore copyrighted material on the Workbench disk. With such a license, you can legally include material from the Workbench disk on software disks that you sell. That means that you can make your software disks into bootable Amiga disks -- including CLI commands, disk loaded libraries, device drivers, fonts etc. The license is royalty free, and is good for some years (I believe the number is 5 years) for redistribution of a specified set of Workbench disk files on a specified set of your software products. You need to tell us these specifications. There is a one time charge of (I believe) $100 for a license to cover our handling costs. If you are interested in obtaining a license, send a letter to: Commodore Computer Systems Division Attn: Dave Street 1200 Wilson Drive West Chester, PA 19380 Dave will send you a copy of the license agreement for your perusal. Commodore's software products for the Amiga include other files which you may wish to incorporate into your products. In particular, compiler folks may wish to incorporate our include files, libraries, or overlay linker. We will consider all such requests on an individual basis. Requests for such special license should also be sent to Dave Street at the address given above.
