Oooooh, sarcasm! I think you really missed the point of my "Brilliantly researched" post. I am following this debate, actually with interest, but it just seems so futile to bother adding anything constructive (destructive?) to it. Because for every keystroke that is being wasted in arguing over licenses, we are losing a keystroke that could go into coding something of benefit to the SAM community. Now, I really don't see the harm in distributing a beta to a few SELECT people without the source, if the source is going to be made available with the official release. Yeah, the GPL requires it's release, but there's a difference between working within the spirit of the GPL and breathing so close down a programmers neck that he can't get his code TESTED without complaints. Give it time, stop arguing, and let us all get on with something worthwile. My original post was neither supporting or opposing any argument, merely a sarcastic way of expressing my distress at the way no-one in the SAM community can co-operate over anything. -- James R Curry - 6 timezones from England and still up at 2am...
