[Ql-Users] GST written QL software is PD now!

[Urs Koenig (QL)]

After months if not years of research, seek, talks and other communication
I'm proud to announce that Jeff Fenton, founder and owner of GST and legal
successors, has declared all GST software written for the Sinclair QL as
public domain. This includes 68K/OS, the Assembler, QC, Editor, Macro
Assembler, Linker, Demos.

Here's the original statement made by Jeff Fenton in an eMail to me:

In the last few weeks I’ve prepared a complete distribution of all GST stuff
I fetched over the years.

As my web service provider failed to provide me FTP access to my website for
more than a week now, I’m unable to update my website (arghhh!). Later on
the GST story will be available on this webpage:
http://tinyurl.com/QL-SW-GST

For the time being you have to download the full GST distribution directly
from this link:

I’m off for summer holidays now.

Urs
