Maybe you misunderstood me, Gregory...

The situation is: I want to release a program, which should be bootable,
ie. I don't want my program to be started from WorkBench. So I have to
copy some libraries, fonts and command files from the WorkBench/Extra
disks to the disk containing my own program.

My question is: Is it legal to copy the Workbench/Extras files to my
own disk, and then release this disk for commercial use, or do I need
some kind of license from Commodore?

Maybe someone at Commodore could clear this up...
