1.  Relax.  Borland has dropped the "extra charge" for
licensing fees.
2. I doubt you actually read what I said, since you ask
questions that were answered in the article itself.

3. SORCIM didn't encourage (allow) distribution of PRUN because
they didn't want to support it and all the programs that would
be written in it; and indeed, they have ceased to sell PASCAL/M
entirely, which is a pity, since it was a good teaching
language; but they decline to support it.  I gather there are
some negotiations between Workman and SORCIM that might lead to
Workman becoming a source of Pascal/M; but no details.
       I never heard of a case where SORCIM tried to STOP
anyone from distributing PRUN; but they sure wouldn't explictly
allow it.
