Hi Alistair,
All of the FX software can be redistributed as long as there are no associated charges – this was a statement that the author displayed on the site when it was live. However,
he still retained copyright of all the content, and there are no options to adapt the code (as with an open source licence).
Software such as MyStudyBar and others which incorporate FX Software can therefore still be redistributed under this condition.
(and Gerald, in the case of MyStudyBar and AccessApps, we received written permission to include the software in our [Soffed] packages)
;-)

Thanks for the update Craig – agree – a sad day.
Do you know the status of the software in terms of redistribution? If we have local copies could we pass them on to other staff or learners?

For those of you who are familiar with FX software:
http://fx-software.co.uk/ and goodies such as Orato, ssOverlay, T-Bar etc,
the software is no longer available as the site has closed down – a great shame!
Craig
