I post this here as I do not know how to contact these parties in any other way
and think that this is the most effective way of contacting them.

To the legal folks at Apple.
A few weeks ago, in my eagerness to help the general community of Apple users
out there, I made several postings about getting A/UX onto Rodime disk drives.
It happens that I made my posting from a host at the Flinders University of
South Australia.
It seems that you people in Apple's legal department have taken note of this.
Being the intelligent folks that you are, you worked out that no one at
Flinders Uni has an A/UX licence, and no doubt you also figured out that
Richard Sharpe does not have an A/UX licence.
Please let me assure you:
1. While I do not have an A/UX licence personally, I have not acted
improperly.
2. I do not work for Flinders Uni, and am in no way involved with Flinders
Uni, and they have never to my knowledge been involved in software
piracy. I do however, have a guest account on a host at flinders where I
occassionally make postings from.
3. I am contracted to a company that does have A/UX, entirely with Apple's
knowledge, and all my activities involving A/UX have been entirely
within the law and within the knowledge of Apple here in Australia.
4. All of my postings on the matter very clearly pointed out that licences
for A/UX were required before placing A/UX on any MacII.
I hope that this message will forestall any further action that you
might be contemplating. I would suggest that you get into touch with me so
that we can sort this issue out.
Finally, I apologise to Flinders University for any problems that I have
caused them, and in future I will endevour to make my relationship to Flinders
clear in future postings.
Regards
Richard Sharpe
