I am discontinuing PC Logic. The PCB layout and schematic capture will no
longer be available. Thank you all for your interest and support over the last
11 years,

Never heard of him. Maybe the Name is a problem, too generic.

So now it's in public domain, where can we get it?

So, when you shutter a business, it becomes public property?

I don't think so!

It would be nice; however, if Brad is quitting and has no prospect
of selling the IP that was PC Logic, if he would GPL the product, so
some good can come of the failure.

We do not know if it was a failure. Lack of popular support is not a failure,
rather it is just not well advertised or promoted.

A GPL would be Best. It is often the case that when there is no one to "Defend
or support" a court will place soft assets in public domain. The whole
purpose of Patents and Copyrights was to allow an inventor or writer to recover
costs and profit from their work and to ease the work into public domain after
a modest period of time.

So if he isn't going to support it, he should post it into public domain.

I've dome it several times. NO harm to me at all. It wasn't making money,
but there were people who could use the art to the benefit of others by
advancing the art. Such works become a base to build on.

Besides where is he going to sell something that no one knows about, and which
will not support him?

The failure to which I refer was Brad's business, not his product.
I recognize the difference. The roadside to success is littered with
good products that just didn't catch the public's eye.

By GPLing PC Logic, Brad's name will remain associated with his
work for a hopefully, very long time. I think that would be better than
having it vanish without a trace.
