In many cases the main author of certain GPL-licenced software doesn't have anything againist someone doing a plugin for closed source program (afaik, this is the case with uade, f.ex. - not the best example, as it depends heavily on GPL stuff) BUT the program itself depends on some GPL stuff (which depends on even more GPL stuff... and so on) and I guess that makes it "full" GPL (as in "may not be used in non-GPL-compatible software)

Of course one possibility is to keep GPL and non-GPL parts separate, so that you can use non-GPL stuff without the GPL restrictions. Some programs refuse to compile in any GPL stuff unless you also add --enable-gpl when compiling, making it totally impossible to add GPL code to the program by accident.

Not sure where you're going with that .. other than that as is quite often the case, GPL code make frequent use of other pieces of GPL code, which means you normally have quite a large number of authors (which you'll find many are no longer reachable) to deal with if you want to have some kind of exception to the license for your program...

Right, and in order to achieve that they must be completely separate programs.

Any news about Sputnik now ?

I'm just back from the Alchimie 06 party in Tain L'Hermitage (France) where Batteman showed us Sputnik running on his Peg2. Very impressive. We had no internet there, he showed us some pages he saved on his local web server so we couldn't really see the speed of it, but the rendering on the pages we saw was very promising.
Congrats again Marcik, i wish you could have seen the smiles on our faces, and hear the loud applausing !

:thumbsup:

Cool.

Marcik, do you have a new time estimate for the public alpha release?

I plan to release it at AmiZaduszki in Krakow, 11.11 (that's also a date of my 20th birthday ) this year. Some bugfixing and adding 2 or 3 small but usefull features are left to finish my ToDo list for first public beta.

What more can I say ?

Helau !!! & Allaf !!!

A MorphOS related release with EXACT date! Drooooooool!

Great, so only 2 weeks now ?

11-11-2006, a date to remember, of course ;). Do you already have an icon? and a "loading page" animation?

Well, it's my birthday, too! What gift may be better than Sputnik?

Well, then Christmas this year will be on 11th November :)

Quote:

Yeah,
two more weeks.

Strange, i think i heard this on a morphos related site b4.
Dont remeber anymore where it was.... :)

It's not the same "week" scale. This weeks are compsed of 7 days each.

Sure, scale must be given. For instance, hyperion's revolution period is about 21 days. So two hyperion weeks take about 9 terrestrial months.

does Sputnik will be available for "all" MOS users? (MOS for PuP as well)

I'm asking simply because i'm not able to register to the official MOS support site, not owning a Peg. (yes i know that are 2 different things, but...)

Thanks

Quote:

And registering the MOS Powerup is not possible either - the server is still down.

I would very much hope that Sputnik will also be available for Powerup-users.
