Hehe, and you see I thought he was talking about the real AR, but now I
think he was talking about the port.(In that case ignore what I said, I have
no idea about what Robert is doing in his port) LOL.

Of course, Robert, you still will need approval of the port. Off hand I
don't think there would be a problem if the port is free and unofficial. The
original AR executables are free, but we still hold the copyright on
those(We are just exercising our free will and making them available for
free).

The real AR of course won't be free. LOL, would love for it to be so, but I
(nor Michael(The Artist), nor Gary, are rich enough to create the new AR and
give it away, obviously the new AR will hopefully provide the funds for us
to create more works to entertain, communicate, and interact.

But the new AR is still a ways off before it is done.
