The email below is from Catalyst2, the web host I'm going to use for the archive. Sounds spot on. Gavin "Hosting question - urgent please! Gavin, What you describe seems to me to fall into the category of 'abandonware': " Games that are at least five years old and not sold by companies anymore. They are generaly considered illegal but the copywrite has expired. Sometimes the game company re-issues the game as a classic and then it is not abandonware anymore. " Our terms and conditions state: [snip stuff about MP3s, cracks etc] The idea that the site will be public domain and freeware software initially, is therefore fine. And it seems reasonable to me that any authors you cannot contact's software will be posted. The only thing that I must stress, is that if you, or Catalyst2 receive notification by said authors that they do not want their material online, it must be removed immeditately. Other than that, this sounds OK. Rob"
