Since I'd prefer to keep the world turning, and thus repeat history, *ahem*:

i guess i must have been away for the discussions.
personally i would suggest that a bug fix adds significant business
value for a company involved in software.
but, whaddaiknow, im not a lawyer. (i have the feeling that phrase has
also been used approx 10 billion times)
erm, well, on the mtasc list David pointed out that the 'std' directory
doesnt actually contain MM code, just intrinsic class definitions.
I guess this is the route we should go down so we can at least have a
legal way of type checking against other MM code like remoting.
as for actually compiling using modified versions of code, well, i guess
we could sneak around like some mysterious subterranean coding group :
'have you got the patched MM code?' , 'no, but i know someone who does,
the IP is dynamic and changes every 20 minutes...be quick..'
:)
or, how about this for a crazy idea. MM actually set up a page where we
can submit fixes for them. The ultimate in software benevolence, we pay
them 100's of whatever our local currency is for their tools, then we
fix various parts and give them back for free. Then if karma does work,
we'll be sorted.
maybe i should eat my breakfast and think about it some more.
