Now this is a fair statement. I agree totally with Russ here. If you
|
|
are going to give something away, give it away. I won't go into the GPL
|
|
vs. BSD/MIT copyright issues here, but suffice it to say both of the
|
|
above copyrights are much easier to deal with than the 'no commericial'
|
|
copyright.
|
|
|
|
If you want to make money from it, don't use other folks for free
|
|
advertising and bug fixes, which effectively giving it away for
|
|
non-commercial use is. It gets debugged and nice features are added, so
|
|
that at a later date you can charge for it and commercial entities can't
|
|
use your (debugged and featureful) code w/out your permission.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the folks who do Kermit (yes, Columbia University) forbid
|
|
commercial entities from distributing it w/out buying a copy of the
|
|
kermit book for every copy distributed. I call this blackmail.
|
|
Granted, alot of work has gone into making kermit a VERY nice product,
|
|
but as a former beta-tester, I didn't get paid for my efforts in doing
|
|
this. I feel a bit cheated since I have always looked upon kermit as
|
|
'free software', and not encumbered.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, I'll get off my high-horse now.

Hi,
|
|
|
|
Anyone know the UID of the person who ported IV 3.1 to Linux ? I am
|
|
refering to the copy under X11/devel/iv31-bin.a[abc] and
|
|
X11/devel/iv31-lib.tgz.
|
|
|
|
Thanks,
|

I know this has been discussed here recently, but I've been very late
|
|
catching up with c.o.l.*, and my latest FAQ copy only has a mention of
|
|
netmask restrictions.
|
|
|
|
Currently I am led to believe that netmasks can only be set on whole-
|
|
byte boundaries in Linux (pl15). I did note some code in the network
|
|
sources that included something like ">>8" to shift mask bits (I'm not
|
|
a C-language guru, sorry).
|
|
|
|
Is anyone working on it, or is this one of those rather tricky changes
|
|
which interacts with lots of other things?
|
|
|
|
I'd like to use a netmask on my Linux box in which the line between
|
|
network number and host number is drawn through the middle of a byte.
|
|
|
|
Chuck.

After slackware by Satnists and Jesus is coming perhaps the people seeking to
|
|
reduce noise in the linux heirarchy shouldn't be proposing c.o.l.advocacy or
|
|
more moderation but c.o.l.religion instead.
