@Gulliver
I see that BestWB comes with ViNCEd version 3.91 copyrighted Amiga Inc from OS 3.9 - and not 3.73 which was the last version copyrighted by THOR-Software, and the last version to be found on Aminet. Would you care to elaborate on the legal status of this 3.91 version, and on how you have the rights to distribute this version of ViNCEd? Is this version now free to be distributed by anyone? I did not, at a quick glance, find anything in the documentation about this, the HELP:english/ViNCEd.guide only covers 3.74, which clearly states, in caps, that this program, and guide, is licensed to Amiga Inc, solely for inclusion and distribution with their product "Os 3.9". What is ThoR's view on this?

I simply asked its author, Thomas Richter, for permission. He was kind enough to give it to me.

If you want to redistribute his software, I would advice you follow the same path, and ask him.

Except you did not distribute his version, you distribute the version owned by Amiga Inc.

EDIT:
If ThoR feels all the ties with Amiga Inc. are gone regarding ViNCEd, then he should make a new version available (for you, or aminet, or however he sees fit) with all strings regarding ownership or copyrights by Amiga Inc. removed/replaced.
