Kaj 11-Dec-2011 [742] | I suppose you could link statically, but you don't want that if you don't want to be LGPL compatible. Although you could do it if you distribute your object files for relinking |
BrianH 11-Dec-2011 [743] | Does Boron have mezzanine code? Is it licensed differently? |
Kaj 11-Dec-2011 [744] | As far as I know that's also LGPL |
BrianH 11-Dec-2011 [745] | OK, so I could use Boron as a black box if necessary - good to know :) |
Kaj 11-Dec-2011 [746] | Right, exactly like REBOL, for your personal goals |
BrianH 11-Dec-2011 [747] | Like REBOL without the source function or hostkit source, but basically yes. |
Kaj 11-Dec-2011 [748x2] | The R3 host kit source will taint you more, because it's commercial |
I never saw the REBOL mezzanines be declared PD, either | |
BrianH 11-Dec-2011 [750x2] | Nope, but I wrote most of the R3 mezzanines and all of the recent changes to the R2 ones, and my contributions were either MIT licensed or contributed under the condition that they be open sourced under a permissive license - no copyright transfer agreed to. And the host code is in the open portion of R3 - I haven't seen any closed source. |
I don't have access to the r3lib source either for the same reason. | |
Kaj 11-Dec-2011 [752] | Looking at the R2 mezzanines has already tainted you, and the fact that you can see the source of the R3 host kit doesn't mean that it's open source - it isn't |
PeterWood 11-Dec-2011 [753] | Brian, you could always ask Karl for permission to look at the sources and not have you own worked "tainted" by doing so. Of course, he may say no. On the other hand, there is no harm in asking. |
Gabriele 12-Dec-2011 [754] | Brian, your "see the source" fear is silly. Sure, there's a lot of copyright terror in the USA, but the idea that the authors of Boron would sue you because you wrote similar code elsewere is ridiculous. Also, copyright covers verbatim text, not ideas. You can use what you learn in any way you wish, this is not about patents. |
GiuseppeC 15-Dec-2011 [755] | Hi, I am interested into building an maintaining documentation for those programming languages based on REBOL. It would be nice to have a DOCBASE for them. What I search is: - Someone ABLE to SETUP the Linux and the Wiki Software - Someone which would share with me the cost of hosting. Do you like the idea ? Write me at [giuseppe-:-chillemi-:-eu] |
Endo 16-Dec-2011 [756] | Hi, I can setup mediawiki (or any other) on my web site: http://www.moldibi.com which is up for 7-8 years. Its hosted on hostgator. I have unlimited storage / MySQL DB / bandwidth etc. But I only have 1 domain name. If it is ok I can create any number of subdomains like world.moldibi.com or red.moldibi.com and give you a FTP account if necessary. |
Kaj 26-Dec-2011 [757:last] | I've upgraded Boron on http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nlto the latest 0.2.3 |
