[GEM Development] Adimens GT

[Armand Colleye]

Hi,
 
The Germans adhere the EU Copyright Directive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Society_Directive 93/98/EEC.
 
So, if Adi Software is declared bankrupt, the copyright retains to their owners still 70 years before it comes into the public domain.
Unless the new owner publish it in the GNU public licence like Caldera did it with the old DRI-software.
