Subject: Re: Abandonment of Digital Research's Copyright ?

DRI is currently selling a *lot* of copies of CP/M v3.1 release 14 which 
has been licensed by Amstrad Corp. for use in their hugely and implausibly
succesful Amstrad PCW range.  There are over 2 million of these machines
in Europe - more are being  sold all the time, several new models were
announced a couple of months ago.

So yes, DRI are still making money out of CP/M.  And to judge by the fierce
license terms visible through
he shrink-wrap, they intend to enforce their copyright. :)

And no, they gave out doing bug fixes several millenia ago :( :(
