I can not offer a quote at this instant, but the SysOps of the Atari
newsgroups have repeatedly stated the restrictions over the years.  If
it is hearsay, it is at least consistent hearsay.  The easiest way to
satisfy your curiousity might be to G ATARI and ask.  The next easiest
way might be to ask Customer Service.  This issue has surfaced from
time to time in relationship to magazine stuff.  Specifically, there
is one Atari-related magazine that allowed you to freely pass along
their published code.  CI$ would not let it pass through.
