While this is question isn't about domains in general, the software is for use with Enom.
Recently, I was on a freelance website looking for a programmer and found a link on that site to a script that allows auto-creation of Enom accounts via a form and the Enom API. The script was there for programmers to bid on making a couple of modifications/upgrades.
The script was available as a hyperlink for anyone to download; it was'nt in a password protected area of the website. I looked over the script and there are no copyright restrictions or mentions of an author.
Q. Can I use this software legally?
Q. Is it possible now that the script has become public domain software by being released without copyright restrictions?
I realize the possibility that the script could have been taken from someone else and had the author information and copyrights stripped. I have however purchased other publicly available scripts similar to this script and the coding is significantly different.
Thanks, Chris
