Yes, Alan, I am aware of what you and Dale Heatherington have written
under the GNU license. It's definitely a step in the right direction. I
wonder how Bob views this software and its licensing (aprsmon and aprsd
would both be considered reception applications):
COPYRIGHT 1992,93,94,95: The APRS formats are provided to all radio
amateurs for use in the amateur radio service. Anyone is encouraged
to apply the APRS formats in the TRANSMISSION of position, weather, and
status packets. However, the author reserves the ownership of these
protocols for exclusive commercial application and for all reception
and plotting applications. Other software engineers desiring to include
APRS RECEPTION in their software for sale within or outside of the
amateur community will require a license from the author. (very
reasonably priced)
Bob
