That some of your ideas didn't go into amforth does not mean that I rejected them. e.g. your soft interrupt queue is interesting. Your implementation is not as good as your idea. IMHO. RTS/CTS flowcontrol is something for a recipe (like Ctrl-C), it creates a hardware dependency that is not satisfied everywhere. > What Matthias needs to clarify is > if he really thinks that a "Google Maps" like product must disclose its > source code because it runs on an Android GPLv2 like Linux. please read the mail from Paulo, his explanation is mine. Your interpretation that amforth is a operating system (kernel) is questionable. amforth does alomost nothing an OS has to do (e.g. ressource management). Its only an interpreter on bare metal. To come to an end, amforth is free and open source software. Everybody using it SHOULD honour this and publish his code too. I am interested in it and it is my impression that I'm not alone. The GPL is a vehicle to achieve this in a formal way. Everybody who does not share this my general point of view and flees into legal details can do with the code whatever he wants to do. I could not stop it. I will never support these people. And I ask everybody else to do so too. Something like amforth-shadow is not sufficient to heal the wounds.
