Hallo Bernd,
How much space does the bootsector have? "Loading FreeDOS kernel (licensed under GPL)"
The boot sector is a tight place. What you suggest is possible, albeit not for all boot sectors, and at the price of removing the error message, if any. So I don't think it's a good solution.
bootsector: mentioning kernel + GPL
kernel: commented out full notice (so does not get compiled in, but in sources)
Almost each kernel source file has a header with the full copyright notice left from DOS-C.
autoexec.bat: optional file, contains full notice as you currently have
kernel should contain the GPL-message, but I don't think there's any need that it shows the GPL-message while being loaded.
I fully agree, but Bart doesn't - alas! :-(
Bootsector can do that, IF there's enough space in it.
Unfortunately, it has more important things to do than showing this.
Full "(c) P Villani 19xx-20xx, licensed under GPL, see license for usage and distribution terms" can be in the optional autoexec.bat file
Exactly as I did. But now I promised Bart to bring it back and will do so, however I hate it! (But it will be same as in my AUTOEXEC.BAT) Anyway, tomorrow I'll find some other victim to cut off ;-)
So much for the copyright voodoo magic words ;-)
Groet, Lucho
