> Grab the existing programs from here: > http://www.synthmodules.com/programs/PSIM-1_Programs/ This is utter and complete bullshit. Mike Murphy and I were guaranteed that all software contributed would be Public Domain. All software I and Mike contributed IS still Public Domain, remove the GPL header. It is incorrect. It is not the intent of the courts to use intellectual property laws to obstruct the progress of American technology. The only claim a manufacturer can make against a copy is loss of income, which if you are not selling or shipping a design, CAN NOT be claimed! If the design is not shipped commercially for two years, it becomes "fallow" and is no longer defensible under intellectual property laws. The term is "failure to commercialize". This will invalidate a PATENT, although the time needed is longer. If you design something, you must put it in production, and KEEP it in production or you lose all rights to the design.
