A few years back, Usborne publishing released PDF versions of their books from the 80's about BASIC programming. https://usborne.com/us/books/computer-and-coding-books
If I, or anyone else, were to adopt these to ugBASIC, could we post them in the snippets or completed programs area following the publishers guidelines for adaption?
Here's what they said about adopting the programs:

Re: adopting Usborne games/programs to ugBASIC
The copyright is your call but I see no problem in doing so.
The codes on those books are simple and truly nothing really copyrighteable, you are probably going to improve on them and rewrite them as you will want to avoid the structure of code flow attached to the line numbers.
I have done it before with Grave Digger (for PC using GLBasic), here it is:
