Exploiting and disrespecting actual contributors is a sure-fire way of ensuring there will be no more contributions.
I would suggest that we do far more than any other site to respect copyright. For example we spent a considerable amount of time discussing, developing, and implementing a whole new system to add custom text on download sections for titles like your own. The other main download site that hosts Buzzsaw+ has never offered this. We have rights to host Zenobi titles because we care about developers and add custom text for them too.

There are many sites out there that have 1000s of titles for loads of systems, make a fortune from advertising and don't give a monkeys about copyright. Do we all get together and try and close these down? Where are the mass protests?

Regarding Spectacular 5.3 (out of interest version 8 was released in 2012, and I don't believe there has been any active development of the Windows version since this time) on it's own with the license in the installer is fine to paste here. The development environment just needs to add a text file with the license, and a copy of it in their documents.

We argue about copyright every few years (we seem to be in a forever loop, and this always holds us back), and ignore the awful stuff the rest of the internet is doing. I'm not even going to mention the Vega+ and the amount of money they took from the community and never paid to copyright owners or donated the promised sums to charity

We have no advertising, no commercial interest and don't actively request donations (this may change in the future), and don't charge for access to the site. We just want the Spectrum to survive for generations to come.

Sorry for the rant.

This was never meant as criticism of how Spectrum Computing is run.

OK. Apologies for my misunderstanding.

Does it really need to be tied to SC, and not to any other (or any) emulator?
There are pair with more-less active authors, why not to collaborate with recent really free software (not sure about ROMs)?

I would like to thank all the users for their opinions on the cross-development environment DEVASM-Z80, which integrates only completely free tools (Freeware), for their contributions regarding the legal use of this software.

In this sense I want to declare that the Spectaculator legal license has been included since today (you can download it) in all the download links of the DEVASM-Z80 package as well as the SPECTACULATOR 5.3 emulator

Likewise, I take this opportunity to record in the present forum that on June 11, 2019 I have applied for express authorization for use in DEVASM-Z80 to the SPECTACULATOR author, Jonathan Needle.

In the case that the author pronounces in a negative sense regarding the authorization, I will be forced to modify the environment using another emulator.

Best regards and thanks to all!
