Due to reasons I will not explain here further (ask me in private),
Poseidon keyfiles cannot be bought after 01-Aug-03. People having just
bought an USB card, that does not come with an OEM Licence, have the
chance to register Poseidon until the end of this month.
Support for existing users is NOT affected and will continue as usually.
It is recommended that dealers stop selling USB cards without licence to
avoid angry customers buying an useless piece of hardware, until the
vendor delivers his own software solution or the situation is solved
somehow.

Poseidon licencing ceasing on 01-Aug-03 : Comment 71 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Chris Hodges on 23-Jul-2003 17:24 GMT | In reply to Comment 68 (Darrin): > Can I assume from this thread that the real news is that in future you can only use Chris' USB stack on hardware that he approves of?
No. This has never been stated anywhere. Don't read out more than there there has been written. But I'm going to change the licence conditions a little bit to avoid abuse again.
> Also, if you oppose his views on any subject or criticize his friends in a public forum he reserves the right to cancel your keyfile and refuse you any updates to his software?
No. I didn't do this because somebody had different views or criticized my friends. What "Rat" did was clearly beyond that. He insulted me and my friends over and over again (and still does, just read a few comments above), tried to bash Michael's and MY products (as the E3B software drivers were all written by me, this does affect me aswell) by stating wrong information on purpose or based on assumptions. It is one thing trying to promote products in a fair manner or bashing other products for malvolent reason, especially if the information stated is clearly wrong or misinterpreted.
Giving out updates for free is my, and only my decision, and it is also my right to exclude a certain friendly polish user from this free updates. He got what he had paid for. Everything that goes beyond that, is simply done on a term of bilateral support.
> Isn't this the same stack that's going to be used by OS4?
No.
> If so, what happens if OS4 is released for the Shark/Shark+?
IMHO chances are those for a snowball in hell that these vapor products will ever see the light of day.
> Am I missing something here?
Obviously. |
