The reason is that Usenet is supposed to be used for non-commercial things.
We reasoned that the hard disk driver violates that.  Right or wrong?

Uwe, lets take off the gloves.  If you had not posted the program to the
net, we would have had a viable product that we could sell and support.  Our
eventual decision to make the CP/M emulator available as a free program was
based on the fact that everyone had it already anyway!  A big manual and
support will not be available, sorry, but we just can't afford it.
