Permission to use Limpopo and Lenin

[George Fowler h(317)726-1482 o(812)855-2829]

Greeting!
     A few days ago somebody posted to SEELangs information about obtaining
from ftp.brown.edu a pair of Russian-language CAI packages called "Limpopo" and
"Lenin". I have downloaded them, and would like to post them to an
instructional file server at a regional campus of Indiana University, so that
students there can play with them if they are so motivated (several of them
have been agitating for something like this). However, the instructional
technology people insist that a site license must be obtained, even for obvious
freeware like this. The two programs do not come with a ReadMe file or anything
like that, and I can't currently open them to see if there is a detailed
start-up screen that would supply the necessary permission or at least give
info about how to obtain it.
     Can anyone direct me, or forward this message, to the responsible party
who can issue a site license for this purpose: At the Indianapolis campus of
Indiana, there are 12 students (total) enrolled in first- and second-year
Russian, and I estimate that these programs would be used by half of them or
fewer.
     An excerpt from the earlier posting follows below.
     Thanks!

Subject: Russian materials (fwd.)

>>From Don Houghton/Tongues Untied
I had the pleasure recently of meeting Snejana Tempest - who teaches Russian
at Middlebury - at a conference recently; she sent me a description of some
materials that were developed for their language program, and which are
available free to anyone who thinks they might be useful.  Here's the
description:

Here is the info on our Russian language programs"Limpopo"(first and second
year students) and "What is Soviet Power"(third year students). "Limpopo"
displays the text and illustrations from a children's story by
K.I.Chukovsky. Students can read the story, listen to the digitized reading
of the story,  ask for definitions for difficult words and phrases. The
program "What is Soviet power?" makes use of a 1919 recording of Lenin's
famous speech.  In both programs a series of exercises prepares the
students for the text and helps them to retain what they learn.

Materials
        The technical requirements for using the programs are:
- a Macintosh with at least 4 megabytes of RAM
- a hard disk with at least 7 megabytes free for each program
- System 7.0 or higher
- the Cyrillic fonts "Eighteenth Century" and "Norwich US," which are
included with the programs

        Both programs are available FREELY via the Internet:
