license question: would there be problems in running BSD or proprietary 
licensed scripts on a GPL based Orca?

GPL languages mean that the GPL only applies to the language and 
not scripts.

A GPL word processor does not write GPL documents

unless it includes some of itself in the document, right?

If a GPL word processor printed out the source of the GPL word processor 
?

lets say it includes macros which where part of the word-processor's 
scripting language.

There's a separate group for discussing the niceties of licensing 
:)

hehe got you there  ;-)  I was just being curious... but the same 
applies... would any script which included derived code from any 
mezzanine or structure within Orca be considered GPL?

I would think so.

Yes, but languages that do that tend to have exceptions or different 
licenses for such code

By the way, Orca is LGPL

IIRC their faq says its not gpl, your code is just data.

And as we all know, in Rebol, all code is just data.

Henrik, you can use BSD and proprietary code with Orca. The interpreter 
is just LGPL code. The idea is that any enhancements to Orca must 
be contributed back. But your specific application code can stay 
closed.

Orca is on the DVD of the current issue 82 of Linux Format magazine 
- more or less. A binary copy is included in the Syllable 0.6.1 that's 
on it

Since there are currently no binary releases for Orca, compiling 
it is somewhat difficult, and I do it regularly anyway for Syllable 
and Linux, I decided to provide one. Orca is included in Syllable, 
and a binary package for Linux is now here:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/syllable/Orca-0.0.24-1.Linux.i486.zip?download

If you want to spread this link, on the REBOL mailing list for example, 
please do

Or better, use

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=55553&package_id=196714

to include future versions

This package was compiled on Ubuntu Dapper Drake, but it should probably 
work on all modern Linux distributions

Does it run on Win32 as well?

Well, not my package, unless you install a Linux emulator

3 user limit!

Is it really ?

There are four people logged on at the moment...

4 user limit then!

We can't let you in right now


The limit of people who can chat in this account has been reached. 
As people come and go slots may open up.

You can try again at any time.

I'll mention it to Karl.

May have to wait for Jaime to get back for the answer to that one, 
he manages the chatroom.

We're about to leave the chatroom, so you could log in then and see 
what we talked about.

Ok, I've left, so that should free a spot.

I suspect they're using the free version of campfire

Graham, You are correct. So far I am only interested on having developers 
in that room.

How to get in as guest?

The click above should just work.

I still have to give a name and password

Just a nickname

It doesn't work without cookies, and gives no indication. Worse, 
it asks email and password

I see no messages

Did you use the link above? I just tested in a pristine browser and 
it only asked me for a nickname.

Only if you have cookies enabled

Guest access doesn't give you allow you to see the transcripts or 
any history.

The page looks rather incomplete

Better register as a full user.

Probably tomorrow

Maybe we could use Google Groups beta ?
