One question. I often can find old abandoned PC's. Most of them are
with software. Am I authorized to use  the software I found? One step
further, could I copy them to my own PC and use them? Examples are MKS
tool kit, MS C 6.0, several versions of DOS, Qedit, PC tools. I admit
that I am not bothered by this issue. I am just curious about the
'main stream' opinion.
