Subject: Re: ZX-SPECTRUM GAMES COPYRIGHTS
In article <3C68DB49.4342C...@mail.ru>, Alexander Shabarshin
As Philip points out the FAQ and WoS permissions list have most of the info you're after but... > Are there freeware classic spectrum games? No. Not one of the classic spectrum games is freeware. Some can be distributed legally, but you cannot charge people for them. > If I want sell ROMs with specgames for some device (not spec), You cannot sell the ROMs because they are not yours to sell. You cannot embed them in hardware either - this isn't made explicit in the FAQ answer but I have correspondence from Amstrad which clears up the fact - ROMs can only be distributed for use with emulators, not actual hardware. > for what games I must pay license fee? Unless the game is freeware, and I'm not aware of any commercial releases that now fall into this category although there are some pretty good PD releases, all of them. > And what about spectrum ROM images? See above. -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.
