Sigh - just what the world needs - another "free as in free beer" free
software licence. As proprietary licences go, this one is perhaps less
bad than many, but I really can't see a lot of places just clicking
and installing on their companies' z/OS systems without getting their
own lawyers involved.
I must ask if you considered an open source licence for this. The
companies that would license it would surely sign up for support in
any case.
Well, enough negativity... I am glad you've released this. Lua is
certainly a great thing to have on z/OS, and I hope it catches on.
Good points, well made.
If you have concerns with the license please tell me what you don't like
because it can be changed. The developers on the project were uncomfortable
with some of the words because legal documents are difficult to grok at
the best of times. The idea is for Lua to be free and if you
want to use it in production with support we can do that. If you want
the source code we can talk about that too.
What I really would like is for people to try it, because it really is
very good.
