You're right, I want it.  But that doesn't tell me how to get it.  The only
instructions I've seen about getting 2.0v2 amount to "Call Claris.  They'll
allow you to upgrade from 2.0 to 2.0v2 for only $49."  Is there any word 
about whether Claris will let user groups distribute 2.0v2 as Apple did for
2.0 before Claris acquired it?

BMUG was distributing 2.0v2 at MacWorld in a 5-disk, $15 set with the last
four disks containing BMUG stacks instead of the Apple/Claris stacks. I 
inquired about the current state of user-group distribution and was told
that BMUG did have permission to distribute it in this form, but presumably
not as the 5-disk Claris set.

I have my brand-new license agreement right here. It says I can distribute 
HyperCard 2.0.
As far as getting it goes, though, it says Apple *may* provide me with a 
copy. It also says that if they don't, I have to buy it through my normal 
purchasing channel.
