Vertex Software - Copyrights Granted
Submitted by Dan Dooré on Sat, 2007-11-24 21:05. GrantedDear SAM Fans…
I am very pleased to announce that I now consider the following of my work for the SAM Coupé to be regarded as Public Domain;
Review Disk Magazine (Issues 1 - 5)
MegaDisk #1 (Quix, Quix II, Math!, Le Box & Manic Mazes)
…under the condition that each disk be distributed in its original, unedited format. At the time of release in 1991, the rights to my MegaDisk #1 were signed over to SAMco, but since this company and all of its subsidiaries no longer exist, I now consider my contract with them to be null and void.
I am more than happy for my work for the SAM Coupé to be distributed freely, without charge. I would appreciate being informed when any of my software is distributed.
Many thanks, and enjoy!

SamForth Copyright
Submitted by Dan Dooré on Sat, 2007-11-24 20:08. GrantedMany years ago I wrote a program called SamForth.
As the copyright holder I can now confirm that it is FREEWARE.
I have lost the original source disks, but the program still exists, I believe, on a SAM Supplement CD.
If anyone wants to backwards engineer it for any reason, please feel free to do so.

Copyrights - Granted
Submitted by Dan Dooré on Fri, 2006-11-03 13:01. GrantedI don’t know if I’m the copyright holder of Batz 'n Balls, but I certainly am the author and would like to grant permission to everybody to download this game. Lots of years I deleted about 100Mb of Sam and Spectrum programs (and all my Z80 sources). Still regret that every now and then …
Ah well, happily married and living in South Africa now.

GM Software Granted
Submitted by Dan Dooré on Thu, 2006-05-18 07:30. GrantedGary Thomas was asked by me (Steve Parry-Thomas) for permission to archive the disk images and manuals as pdfs for GM-Base and GM-Calc.
“Would you be willing to let copies of your software for the Sam to be stored in archives / ftp / web sites as Disk images, and the manuals as pdfs ? ” - 7/07/2005
I have lost reply in my great harddrive crash of 2005, but it went somthing like “…Do what you want with the Software/manuals, we (Gary and Malcolm) had a great time working with SAM …..”
A few days later the GM-Base manual was sent by Gary with some of their adverts for the GM software. - The manual will be pdf sometime this year (2006) - so take it as permission has been granted for this software to be placed in the PD for all.
