+The disk image included in the distribution contains boot code which is
+part of the ESDOS ][ disk format.  This is most likely copyrighted material
+and therefore NOT in the public domain.  However, it is difficult to imagine
+that its authors object to this code being redistributed for non-commercial
+purposes, especially given its function.  ESDOS ][-formatted disk images
+have been available for download on the Internet for years now with, it would
+seem, no controversy at all.  (But don't go reverse-engineering it or trying
+to sell it, as that's likely not what its authors had in mind.)
