They should know the status.  I believe that most of the programs had a 
time clause to them and are now owned by the original authors.  Now the 
problem might be tracking down the authors, or they could be considered 
abandonware.  There's been a lot of discussion about abandonware on 
comp.sys.sinclair, dealing with old spectrum games.

Remember, copyright infringement is only illegal if the copyright owner 
sues you.  A city or government can't sue on behalf of the copyright 
owner.  So, you take your chances.
