Great! I (and the rest of the A/UX Commandos) are glad you like Commando.

Yes, to prevent them from being copied and used at our expense!

I don't know what our official "policy" is, but I expect it is no
different than the policy towards other source code we provide with
A/UX.  That is, modifying it for your own use is encouraged, but 
you should check with us before distributing it (or derived works)
or including it in a product.  I'll see if I can get more information
on this.  Until then, happy hacking!
