For those who have followed the HTML help threads, you'll know that I was going to rewrite help.exe, and keep the existing .HTM files but modify them. Now its the other way round! It has been brought to my attention that there are serious licensing issues about the .HTM files. For instance: >> Anyway, the HTML documents are GPL, so I can arrange something >> for these. > > As long as they are rewritten. You cannot claim GPL on documents > that are really (c) MS :) The only documents that are worth keeping are the index file (help.htm) and the (c) MS files! Actually there are no specific statements of authorship, what license covers the HTML documents etc. I'm not a lawyer: I absolutely *refuse* to work on something unless it is clearly free and open, and legally so. So I'm going to start a HTML help documentation project, under the GNU documentation license etc. It will have subprojects and small, clearly-defined tasks that people can contribute towards. And it will be made clear to all contributors that they must use the GNU license. ---------- list options/archives/etc.: http://www.topica.com/lists/fd-dev unsubscribe: send blank email to: [email protected] ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bz8Rv5.bafB3U Or send an email to: [email protected] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
