AmigaOS / Workbench Licence Question
I'm not sure how the licencing works for Amigas that have long since lost their Workbench disks.
For example, if I wanted to sell an A500 that no longer has it's Workbench floppies but has a Gotek fitted, would it be illegal to sell it with ADFs of Workbench 1.3? I guess the question is, does the licence for the copy of Workbench sold with the machine reside with the machine itself or is it associated with the original media? I don't want to be breaking any rules! |

Illegal ? Nah
CopyWrong Infringement --- Maybe A copy of Amiga Forever (or their disks) would cover you, if worried. |

The licence came with the machine, so if you're selling it, the licence goes with the machine. It's a different story if you were including a version other than that which came with the computer in the first place of course, but that's not the case.
