Either the law changed or someone in the copywrite office didn't do their job. They should have had a record of it even if it expired. Anything before Jan 1 1978 does have to be renewed or else. I think it's unfair that copywrites last for so long while patents don't. Under those rules there would never be any generic drugs.

Which is nonsense to begin with, as there simply can't be any DOS software before 1981, the year the first MS/PC-DOS version came out. That means that any software, that hasn't been specifically put into Public Domain is under copyright for at least 70 years... Also, what is that copywrite/copywright office you keep talking about? If you're dealing with legal issues, it really pays to be precise...

Re: [Freedos-user] XMODEM-compatible terminal software
According to your very useful link. Before Jan 1 1978, copywrights had to be renewed or they expired to public domain. After that you no longer had to renew, it was automatic. Anything before 1/1/78 is now public if it wasn't renewed. Which doesn't explain why the copywright office didn't find anything for "Crosstalk" which was after 1978. I asked them for the present owner and a mailing address for them. "Could not locate anything"; no longer seems to be a resonable answer. They took my money; they should have given it to me. How can you get permission from an owner, if you can't find the SOB.
