These are really good. My Mum has been playing one of these for years (can't remember which one it is).

That's freeware, not public domain. If they were public domain, he'd wave all rights to them and you could distribute them how you wanted, decompile them, hack about with the source code, recompile them and distribute those, too.

Good news anyway, though.
