What is your point? ST-Guide _is_ freely available. Anyone can get it.
You can even distribute it with your programs, even if they are
commercial. You cannot compare this to GDOS. Also, as a side note,
you are not dependant on ST-Guide if you write a HyperText for it.
Since the format of the HyperText is available, it is possible that
other tools using the same format will become available.
