AmigaOS 4.0 Developer Pre-release goes gold : Comment 145 of 283 | ANN.lu |
Posted by oGALAXYo on 17-Apr-2004 15:26 GMT | I must admit that I hate it when people need to bring up judges only to get sources which are put under GNU/GPL. But ok I am not weighting things yet as one of the Friedens said - 'Wait until it's released we will make it public'.
We should all shame ourselves for acting like we having some secrets we don't give away. We should try to work together here for your benefits, for our benefits, for the benefits of our future and the benefits of the users.
We should also learn to work with the mainstream development tree of either GCC or GDB and whatelse because these are the good manners of co-operation and the philosophy of open source and free software. You need to think about this, we use the code that others have written in their spare time. At the end they decided to put it under an open source licensing modell for the same reasons that I have brought up here (share code, help others, make software better and make sure the software will also exist in future).
The way how these terms and rules are being treated (careless, with disrespect and what else) is a shame.
I know that the competition within this niche market is hard and that people try to keep stuff secret until the last second. But for open source people need to re-consider here.
There may be skilled people working on either the Amiga or MorphOS side but they still have a long way to go as soon it comes for co-operation, teamwork and share of other peoples work and respect of other peoples licensing model and code. |
