Hi Christian, >> Is the 4DOS license okay for Fedora?

Strong words, do you have examples of changes in 4DOS that are unpleasant for you / others? > Yeah, but ask Japheth whether he wants to keep NoMySo compatibility > at all or whether he would use NoMySo once and then develop > his software for NASM. I beat the answer is no. Japheth has grown up with MASM, so he sees no reason to get used to NASM, in particular now that he has modified WASM into his MASM-compatible JWASM. I do like NASM for license, portability and simplicity (yet power) but tastes differ and that is okay :-). > So we agree here. But if anyone wants "The FreeDOS Spec" > to be used seriously for the FreeDOS project, > it should not contradict some of the major programs > (other CLI, LFN, DPMI, EMS, XMS) currently available On one hand - true - on the other hand - for me the Spec is mostly a historical document about what were the original plans when DOS-C became FreeDOS. Still we could also update the spec, if that feels useful. >> Not really... Licenses differ and NASM _is_ more free than JWASM. >> It is also bad to use too many different compilers / assemblers. > Tell that to the MASM crowd. (Who will likely send you back > to the NASM crowd, though.) Tastes differ, as said :-) Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
