Wasn't there a shareware version of Notion 2 around?

Hmh, wasn't there a Newtonian who has been in touch with Don Vollum of
PelicanWare fame recently... Maybe this could be followed up?

Without doubt. Often even the developers can be found and asked to
release the app. If they still have the packages at all, they often
liberate them or come up with a refreshed licensing scheme, both an
improvement.
Researching apps and trying to clear them like this can be fun and a
great way to give something back to the community.

Hmh, UNNA, Tech Ed's and the Temporary Newton Whatever come to mind.

What if you were into spanking? Or <gasp> thought lawyers to be quite
sexy?
