Would someone be able to upload SoundSmith to Apple2-l?

>Would someone be able to upload SoundSmith to Apple2-l? >**ONLY** if the author of that (shareware) permits it PLEASE!! Quite a bit of software states in a text file "Upload this file everywhere". I would assume that if this statement is placed on a piece of shareware, there would be no question about it being uploaded to Apple2-L or anywhere, for that matter. I'm not sure about the legalities of the copyright law, but it doesn't seem logical that you could forfeit the copyright of a program just by uploading it on electronic media. You may be giving someone permission to utilize your program (in this instance, Shrink-it); but you are not authorizing someone to take your program and incorporate it into their program. Most laws are written fairly; though heaven knows I'm no lawyer. UUCP: {ames!elroy, <routing site>}!gryphon!pnet02!lbotez INET: lbotez@pnet02.gryphon.com

If it's on comp.binaries.apple2, it'll get to APPLE2-L. However, the
process from binaries to APPLE2-L is manual (the other way is automatic,
which means that sending stuff to APPLE2-L in the first place, usually,
is more productive).
I say usually, because (those who've been reading along here, will recall)
the APPLE2-L poster (Chris Chung) had surgery Monday (1/15) and expects
to be under the influence of pain killers, etc. until Friday or so (send
"get well" messages to Chris@BrownVM.Brown.Edu).
Also - apparently the SoundSmith posted to comp.binaries was corrupted by
the uploading/posting process so if you receive the one posted earlier it
won't work anyway (waste of bandwidth -- I'm sure Chris would appreciate
the date on the <functional> replacement when it's posted so APPLE2-L can
avoid mailing the corrupt version out).
