Does anyone know the ethics (or lack thereof) of distributing old copies
of MacWrite (e.g. 4.x or 5.x) to be used for such a prupose? Since it's
no longer produced, it seems like Claris wouldn't lose anything in the
deal. Could an old copy of MacWrite be leagaly (and ethically)
distributed via avenues such as the net, CIS, GEnie, etc.?
Just wondering...
