	The other day I was looking through a brochure put out by
Kaypro listing software available.  Under the heading 'telecommunications'
was the following listing:

		Kermit   ............. $100.00
		
		Kinch Computer Co.
		425 Mitchell St.
		Ithaca, New York 14850

		Dr. Richard J. Kinch  ..... (607) 273-0222


	I assume that this guy is selling Kermit for the Kaypro computer.
Is this legal?  I've seen many companies selling public domain stuff, but
for someone to sell for $100 a program who's authors and developers have
gone to great straits to make available for free seems absurd.
	Unfortunately, many Kaypro owners are first time computer owners
who might not republic domain exists and be taken by this.
