Re: TI-82 Mac users only



It is perfectly lawful to distribute software provided you are making only a
_small_ amount of profit past the amount it costs you to produce the disk.
Unless this software is retail, it is perfectly OK to do this. Copyrighting
also has nothing to do with it, since you are not altering the software. If
TICALC can redistribute it, so can anyone.
