I don't think it would allow me to supply it in any other way (e.g. PD library or website) or that it would allow Daniele Terdina, Richard Zidlicky and other emulator authors to include it either witht heir emulators or from their website.
Some time has passed since then, of course it might have changed by now... Since the QL Emulators CD is itself freeware (i.e. it can be copied freely) it does seem a difficult situation. I'm not sure if the emulator authors could technically say if you want TK2, get a copy of the Emulators CD, but I suppose the copyright holder could then say that as the TK2 isn't being used with an emulator which didn't come off the CD (e.g. a full registered version or a later version than on the CD) the situation might be less than clear cut.
