][ I just received this note, and I'm not certain how to handle it. Perhaps I could get some input from the collective group. From agee@xx.colorado.edu Sun Jan 20 17:39:09 1991 Received: by cica.indiana.edu (5.57/9.5jsm) id AA05592; Sun, 20 Jan 91 17:39:06 EST Date: Sun, 20 Jan 91 15:39:03 -0700 From: Keith Agee <agee@xx.colorado.edu> To: mr@cica.cica.indiana.edu Subject: Screen Peace I am writing for Anthony Andersen, the author of Screen Peace. Several months ago Screen Peace was removed from the Shareware "market" due to the release of the commercial version, Intermission. It would be appreciated if you could remove it from you ftp site also. If you have any other questions, please feel free to e-mail me at agee@anchor.colorado.edu.

If you do delete it, it will get "bootlegged", which is to archived elsewhere. Whether you follow the author's wishes is up to you. I have no interest in ScreenPeace per se, I personally use IdleWild because it was part of the WEP I got for Christmas. Moral: Learn to write contracts before giving software away. -ahd-

I would guess that they can't force you to remove it, as there are copies of PC+ on most PC-BBS's. -- Michael R.

This is quoted from the screenpeace.doc file included in screenpeace: "Screen Peace is CharityWare...<stuff deleted>...ALL PROFITS...WILL GO TO GREEN PEACE, IN MY OPINION A VERY WORTHY CAUSE" -Anthony Andersen, author of Screen Peace And why don't YOU look at the icon, too: a GREEN colored PEACE symbol.
