Re: tn5250j port to C# LGPL

Hello Jose

I have sent this to the general list.  Feel free to sign up to the list 
so that you would be able to answer any questions from the group.

Actually it was myself that wrote that main program and most of the code 
base.  I mention this only because as far as percentages go I have the 
most time and code invested and as such can say that I do not mind the 
LGPL license that you are proposing for the C# port.  Wim from LDC along 
with his programmer Luc contributed a lot of great code to make it fit 
within their products that they use and am saying that up front so as 
not to take that away from them.  Please remember that there were alot 
of people that have contributed to the product other than LDC so we will 
have to get their permission as well from what I understand of the 
licensing wordings.

I would like to apologize if I have missed someone.  Please let me know 
here so that we can get this straightened out.

Regards

Kenneth
