NOthing on those disks is public domain or freely redistributable. Programs and files appearing on those disks were created for Amiga World, usually for $$ and Amiga World has exclusive distribution rights to them unless specifically stated otherwise on the disk or inside the program or file itself. Unfortunately, this point is NOT at all clearly made on the Toolchest disks and I've spoken to Lou Wallace (Senior Technology Editor @ Amiga World magazine) about how the stuff he puts on his Toolchest disks keeps showing up on BBSes all over the place (Tinyball is a prime example), and he informed me that future Toolchests will have much more explicit statments about the status of software appearing on those disksand authors who submit to Toolchest disks will be asked to do the same, usually in their "about" windows or in documentation if their submissions are not executable programs. While I'm here, please note that the same thing applies to any disks published by Amiga Plus (Antic) and Amiga Resource (Compute). Jumpdisk is another story and a mixed bag: if a Jumpdisk program says it may be freely distributed, it may. Also note that many authors retain copyright over their creations so even IF something says "freely redistributable" this does NOT necessarily make it "public domain." Thanks, > >J.
