[NTLK] The NEWTON COMPLETE Project 1.0

[Forrest]

I would suggest that anyone interested in the complicated issues of copyright laws, contacting authors of abandonware and so on research the NTLK archives from--IIRC--January to May 2010. (I'm doing a little guessing here, I haven't actually checked this.)

I seem to recall there was a discussion on who had been contacted, what results there were, etc. Of course, that was two years ago, much could have changed.

I thought we had beat the topic to death then...I guess I was wrong, though, as apparently it wasn't quite dead yet. 

Thanks,
--Forrest
