Hmm, I know that any patents associated with the EC-1 have expired by
now, but I don't recall how long a copyright lasts (more than 38 years, I
suspect).
Yes, but are they still valid if the owner is out of business? I know
the HK manuals are WIDELY copied and the copies sold. So are Tektronix, HP
and a lot of others, and they're still in business!
