Colin MacDonald can distribute FRED how he likes, including free-of-charge by anonymous ftp. This is not the same as declaring the software to be PD, which I still don't think he can do. I haven't signed anything which would allow him to change the legal status of any of my software which might be incorporated into FRED magazine.
