There was a rumour that Microsoft lost the source code to Visual Source Safe. Oh the irony. I know our admin claimed it corrupted itself many times.
Source code getting lost, I'd buy that. ________________________________ From: R Moog <moog...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, 27 September 2019 12:01 AM To: Discussion and general questions about FreeDOS. <freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Cc: p...@lists.pdxlinux.org <p...@lists.pdxlinux.org> Subject: Re: [Freedos-user] Source code to Windows 9x and ME... Besides being a huge witch hunt for code proprietors and a hassle to convince them to relicense, it also involves digging out source code that might not exist anymore. This happens. czw., 26 wrz 2019, 15:37 użytkownik Michael C Robinson <mich...@robinson-west.com<mailto:mich...@robinson-west.com>> napisał: Is it possible to get the source code to Windows 9x and ME since Microsoft isn't supporting it anymore? One would want to get the source code and then open source it of course. Even Windows 3.1 and Windows 3.11 is closed source. Surely, Microsoft could release pre 9x Windows? It wouldn't hurt Microsoft at all since Windows is squarely NT based now where many modern systems won't even support DOS let alone DOS based Windows. I realize it would probably be very expensive to get Microsoft to cough up the source code, but has anyone even looked into this? _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
