MMURTL OPERATING SYSTEM SOURCE CODE PLACED IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
[Link to Public Domain download at bottom of page]


MMURTL-V1.0 (the Book, either in PDF or Printed format) remains Copyright 1999, IP Data Corp. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

HOWEVER:

MMURTL Operating System Source Code and utilities, along with the DASM assembler are now in the PUBLIC DOMAIN per its author and legal owner, Richard A. Burgess. This is effective immediately and is retroactive to all releases of the MMURTL software.

All of the Source Code for:
    MMURTL V1.0 the Operating System  and V0.8 Published by Doctor Dobbs Journal in 1994,
   the DASM assembler, and
   Any of the small MMURTL utilities
have been placed IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. Use it any way you see fit, for any purpose you desire, for anything you like. Distribute it, sell it, give it away,  sleep on it, build a Son of MMURTL, do whatever you want with it! That's what PUBLIC DOMAIN MEANS. It is YOURS!
This includes the files for the above mentioned software that came from the original CD-ROM distributions that any of you purchased, whether from SAMS/MacMillan Publishing, or from IP Data Corp., and this Source Code Package that is on the IP Data Corp., web site.
I can't edit or change the headers in the thousands of copies that are out there, and I am not going to edit or change the copyright statements
in every source file in this package either. Delete them yourself, if you want to or you must - they are now YOURS. DO what you want to do
with them.

The MMURTL Public Domain code comes with "THE BIG BOY WARRANTY"

The Big Boy Warranty states: You've got the code, its all yours,  you are a big boy now. Fix it yourself.

However, I do ask that you please respect the copyright for the book itself until its status changes.
It is still copyrighted material under a previous agreement. This include the PDF verison as
well as the printed book itself.

ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING: The only software in both the original distributions and this package that I did not (and still do not) have complete control over is the CM-32 compiler and it's source code, by Dave Dunfield. I have included in this package here for you to use personally, but you may not sell, distribute or charge for CM-32 without Mr. Dunfield's express permission. CM32 was derived from Micro-C (Copyright 1990) by Dave Dunfield. Any commercial use of this product requires Mr. Dunfield's permission.
