You are not the first, who wants clearification. I got in the last days
some mail and I think I must say something to this here in the net:
1. The CP/M-Z80-Emulator was originally copyrighted by SoftDesign in Munich.
2. The University of Dortmund got as offical developer the CP/M-80-Emulator
like all German Atari dealers with a letter in which Atari Germany (in
Raunheim at Frankfurt/Main, near the US-Airbase in Europe) told developers
and dealers that this emulator can be distributed FREE (!!!!) to all ST
end users. We also saw this copyright notice and in order to verify I called
Dr. Riedl, the German Software Support Manager of Atari, and asked him,
whether we can send the emulator via Usenet to USA. He answered me, that
they have the distribution right for the emulator all over the world and
that we can mail this piece of software. That's all.
3. I think Atari Germany has bought the copyrights and distribution rights
from the Munich firm. Even I hope so. If not, I think, Atari would have
got very much trouble in the meantime, because we received the emulator
in December 85 (including the letter, that it can be distributed free).
I hope this will help. If not: Sorry, that's all I know.
