Much ado about nothing. YAG announced at the MVP Summit that the Sedna add-ons for VFP9 were being released under one of MS's "shared source" licenses at CodePlex.com, as had been previously suggested, and that there were no plans for VFP 10. Steven Vaughn-Nicholls picked up on the story and mangled it into "VFP to be released as Open Source!" which is wrong on two counts: it's not VFP they're releasing, and not Open Source they're releasing Sedna as. His report was in eWeek, it was picked up all over the place, including the O'Reilly website and Slashdot; confusion follows. Despite the attempts of many of us to correct the report, it's out there, and two or three threads here on leafe.com have gone off wandering from that announcement. Welcome back, Stephen. Same stuff, different day. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
