What you're doing is not right. It might be "legal" enough, but it says many things about you. The original author of the program puts down the "( c )" and then reinforces his wishes. I hope you at least consulted with him before even doing the port.

Also you put your own "( c )" as if you really didn't care where it came from. You could have left out the first two lines of the comment for greater effect.

Probably it would have placated Mr. Wirbelauer if you did the port but didn't post it anywhere online, but simply kept it with the other examples for micro(A), to be checked out the next time you offer the download for your interpreter.

Sorry, had to write the copyright symbol like that because the forum converts the "true" one into a single character.

I remember reading somewhere that the use of (c) is not a legitimate copyright symbol because the c is not encircled, basically making the addition of (c) in code worthless. In fact, I believe in the late 80's a rule came out that the use of the copyright symbol is no longer needed as all works now enjoy the benefits of copyright without it.
