Just an update for everyone. I have contacted the author of SlimServMon once again and have politely attempted to work something out with being able to release my widget & keep both of us happy. His response was polite as well, but he maintains that he holds rights to his intellectual property & would not take a look at my code as it might indicate I have rights to any part of his code. So unfortunately I am not able to release my version of the widget to anyone because I had previously viewed code to SlimServMon to do the original updates/fixes. I cannot take a chance of this code getting released to anyone & getting in any further disputes with the author & am TRULY sorry to anyone who has waited over 6 months for an update for SlimServMon. I know if I was the author I would not allow that to happen. The SlimServMon author has told me development is still ongoing & the project has not been abandoned.
I would like to make a suggestion: Anyone with *some* level of HTML/JavaScript knowledge code a version of the widget themselves *without* looking at any code in SlimServMon. The SlimServer XML interface is well documented & it's really not a hard application to code from scratch if you have reviewed basic Konfabulator widget tutorials & possibly looked at some sample programs. I'll even send you the control panel graphics that I intended to use in my widget (play, pause, stop & skip buttons). This way the author cannot claim any type of infringement on his software & the community will have something that works & which (hopefully) can be modified by other users openly & without such restricted copyright terms. Lastly, I have learned from all of this that if I ever get the notion to fix something that someone else has written, it's best to email them first & find out if they would allow you to post modified code & if not you always have the option of writing the application yourself as long as you haven't previously viewed/modified their code. -- acebathound :Techdose: http://www.techdose.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ acebathound's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2156 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=15981 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
