He may do it for private fun but UQLX licence in its current form does not allow to distribute UQLX with modifications that are tailormade to run commercial software. It can be done without purely SMSQ specific modifications to UQLX, but unless someone provides colour screen drivers for Minerva or QDOS this part of functionality will be restricted. Nothing to nuke SMSQ specifically, the limitation is there already for years and it would need the approval of many UQLX contributors to remove it. Btw I intend to clarify the UQLX copyright as far as possible in the direction of Open Source, there are still some not so nice leftovers from past times when I wasn't fully convinced by OS. Richard
