Wolfgang and others
One point that occurs to me is that the current restriction on electronic distribution of the original source applies to Wolfgang acting as the registrar? This means that every time Wolfgang accepts an update into the official release then all those who are active and already have the sources will want a new copy of the official source. Does this mean that they need to apply to Wolfgang again? I would assume not as this would very quickly become unwieldy but the current license does not seem to offer an alternative. To be practical in terms of likely effort this means that Wolfgang needs to let all those who already have copies of the source an easy way of getting a later version with the minimum of effort from all parties. Once you decide this, why not make the initial distribution as painless. As stated earlier if control is wanted over this then a secure web or FTP site would be a good solution. Alternatively Wolfgang could maintain an email distribution list of those to whom updates should be sent - but this only works well if the amount to be sent remains small. If it grows in size or is changing with any frequency then a download-on-demand approach is better. My experience with the days when I used to supply c68 on disks makes me feel strongly about this. It got to the stage where I was spending all my time copying disks. I only got things under control when I switched to primarily web based distribution. Dave Walker
