Hi Andy,
 There's a few adventure games I'd like to make freely available from
the days of F1 Licenceware, from '92-'96. I've sought out the authors and,
for the ones who have replied, have written permission to be able to freely
distribute (as they're still technically commercial and copyrighted, so
I can't make them available without permission). I'd like to put the games
up on a web page for free download for the ones I have permission for, with
the written permission on there to show the authors would like to make them
freely available - is this okay with you?
My ideal would be to get them up on the Aminet, so they're freely available
to all Amigans, but as the games all contain the F1 Licenceware logo screen
and a few copyright messages, I'm not sure the Aminet admin would be happy
having them on there, even with notes from the authors, which is a shame.
If you're happy with this, I can find out any criteria from them to see
if we can get them up on there.
Let me know, and I'll get things moving accordingly.
Thanks for the help,
Rich

I have no problems with you distributing the games of those authors who
have contacted you to give you permission to give the games away freely. If you
could give me a list of the games that you have on your list to give away
(with permission), that would be great =) When I took over the company,
there wasn't much of a contact list, and email wasn't big back at the time
so was never able to find any of these guys. It was another reason I closed
it down due to not being able to request updates from the authors.
As for the ones you haven't been able to find to get permission from, I
don't have a problem with you releasing them, though I would much prefer
it if you had permission from each one first.
If you have any other questions or queries, or need DMS files, let me know
=)
Kind Regards,
Andy
