I have binaries of Juno 1.0.1 and RS101 2.0-1.7 if you want them - just let me 
know your preferred method of delivery. Unless anyone knows of licence 
restrictions on redistribution of this software - if so, please let me know.

Ultramaster programs weren't all source-available, unfortunately.

I don't know, but I suspect Ultramaster was just too far ahead of its time in 
trying to build a business model around proprietary music software for Linux. 
They were good programs, and I imagine they would have fitted in well with a 
distribution like Lindows which isn't adverse to closed source. 

It's not too late for the source code to be relicensed by its authors though, 
if the proprietary product is defunct.
