   Sherri and Rob,

    I noticed both of you guys distribute MC64AD with your libraries which includes the following copyright/license statement.  Did you receive permission to distribute this source code from Iain or Jacko and how general is that permission, just for you or for other groups also? That is, is there an alternative license that allows this source code to be distributed?

    Thanks

    Barry
