After 3 years of struggling a giant step could lastly be made - the
relicensing of cthugha is perfect.
Harald has made a last release, cthugha1.4a,
http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/6386/, and handed the source
over to my hands. I'm very pleased, as i hope this eases my efforts to
keep it in a good shape and develop it further. I planned a complete
rewrite to make it free, but the changed situation allows incremental
updates, the critical sources mentioned below being first. Now,
- Is the license (Appendix1) ok? I can find no problem, but it's all
become so complicated ...
- There is a header file (Appendix2 - soon to be replaced). I find no
problem with it. Is it ok for now?
- There are some util sources (App.3 and App4). Hm, no copyright at
all. What about them?
- Last and least, getopt-long. I don't think it's being used much and
might go away. But it 'mentions' ;) GPL. Do you think they're ok?
I'm very happy, that i can ask that questions after all. Looking forward
for your critic, martin
