Thanks, Trebor. I used those very old links to update the
Wiki Compressor page.
I see at least one person is distributing Chris's later 1.2.6 version (which still says "all rights reserved" and "Permission granted for personal use, without redistribution"). The link to it is on:
http://theaudacitytopodcast.com/1255/ta ... _tutorials
and that page is linked to on the WIki Tutorials page.
I never knew Chris well. Do we have any concerns about the hosting?

What concerns might there be? I think the restriction is an abbreviation:
;;Authored by Chris Capel (
http://pdf23ds.net)
;;All rights reserved
by the author
;;Permission granted
by the author for personal use, without redistribution.
Since the author no longer exists.....
I have his whole web site archived -- for personal use, of course.

The internet archive's Wayback machine has got them in trouble for redistributing material without the authors permission ...
Legal status
In Europe the Wayback Machine could be interpreted to violate copyright laws. Only the content creator can decide where his content is published or duplicated ...

Copyright persists after death ...
In most of the world, the default length of copyright is the life of the author plus either 50 or 70 years. In the United States, the term for most existing works is for a term ending 70 years after the death of the author.
