Otherwise they'll almost certainly say "no". For that matter, I personally wouldn't have asked, since it's clear that Supnik did already arrange a license (for SIMH only). At this point, if they say "no", it will really muddy the issue. In general, when you ask a company for permission to do anything, the answer will be "no", just because that's the safe and easy answer, and doesn't involve any research or lawyers. So when one already has permission to do something, asking for permission again can only cause grief. Note: I'm speaking entirely of the general case; none of this is intended in any way to be critical of Mentec.
