RE: Re: Announcing the VM/370 and VM/380 "SixPack" version 1.2 release candidate 1!

All

 

Forget it. 

You will not get me into this silly discussion.

I hereby grant to all the right to do whatever they want with the Code – To
manipulate in any possible way they can, to improve on it , or to*&(*& it up
as much as they want.

They can give me credit or not – They can sell it – Make a profit and spend
it on trips to Hawaii visiting Brian,

 

They can invite me along for the ride or not.

They can use it or trash it as they see fit.

 

My only request – not requirement – is that now and then you mention that it
is based on Rocky's original developnment.

 

Paolo - You can take the sign on screen out of the code --- Get rid of the
UserId table as well at the same time.

 

That was on my list of things to do – Maybe as an option though. 

Still might want to develop an application to work off this that would need
a signon.

Fear not -  change at will – I promise not to sue you. 

Most that I expect is the next time I am in Rome you take me to a nice
restaurant.

 

 

After the above statement if anybody is still afraid to change anything,
then more power to you, you are a better man than I. 

I cannot help you.

BTW ---- Has anybody actually used it –  or is this just BS to pass the time

 

It Can't be that good that nobody has any problems at all except with the
copyright?

Not even a suggestion for improvement??????

 

I got one message from Faust about the IND$FILE which turned out to be a
user error.

 

BTW --- I have problem with the PIPE character in IND$FILE simulation
–Translates wrong – already fixed for the next release

Protect from what?

BSD just ensures that you get creditted at some
level for your work.

And then of course, if you don't think you got
creditted sufficiently, you are free to take the
user to court.

So to protect the user (ie developer) from the
fear of courts, I use public domain. Not possible
for me to take someone to court. I'm no longer
the owner. The public is.

I don't consider the job to be done until it's in
the public domain. So e.g. we'll eventually have
an unrestricted C compiler for MVS (GCC) in another 
140 years or thereabouts, when the copyright expires.

PDPCLIB doesn't require the 140 year wait.
