There is an interesting bit on copyright that's list four things relating
to Software. One covers the code as literary, the other covers the output
from code as far as I can ascertain.
The code is a literary work
The on-screen display could be an artistic work
The soundtracks are musical works

Hi Colin,
When a member of the Bristol Group, I remember being told that any program
lodged in the QL system automatically became public domain. Can that be
confirmed?
No it can't.
Very broadly speaking, if someone writes a piece of software, then
someone has a copyright to it -

Define "QL system"? Don't understand that, unless what they meant was that
as soon as you made a program available in some way, widespread
Yes, why Fred Toussi does not make this program freeware and why he does not
make the way public, how T87 saves its documents...
I will never understand. Noone sells it today, nor does anyone develops
driver for it. Is this the way? Surely not.
Cheers...Ralf

Whilst searching the web, one site virtually stated that anything a person
produces is automatically subject to copyright. Another site
Has copyright in the electronic sense been investigated?
An author publishes an article, and an individual makes one copy of it for
only his use. That is allowable, but there could be qualifications of the
situation.
