speaking as a moderator:
If its new software dont trade it on this site, what you do on your time is your business.


as myself (LOL):
I'm probably the most lax when it comes to old applications/games.  I simply dont care.  Old software..thats a tough subject.. if its abandonware, not being sold anywhere.. then its all fair game IMO.  Its not my job to hunt down a author to ask if I can have the code or if he can release it to the world for free.  You're not going to make any money off of Rick Dangerous or Skychase etc.. LOL.  I'd rather have that software released and if the author finds out about it then he can ask to have it removed, from that point on I'll know its not freeware etc.
There isnt a "Amiga" scene software wise..its all old news.  Support what we have left..Pegasos and A1.
