Hi Leo, I finally got that release out yesterday, it is Alpha_30.5 at http://sourceforge.net/projects/objectify/. I tried to get it out on Saturday so that it coincided with Software Freedom Day, but I didn't make it. I found a couple of bugs and I didn't want to do a release with them in it.
I believe I got copyright notices on all the documentation files and all of the ChangeLog files. I wasn't 100% sure where to put the notice on the ChangeLogs, so I put it right at the beginning. I noticed in the GFDL instructions it said to use it on scripts too. I already had a GPL notice in the scripts so I didn't change them. If it would be better for the scripts to have the GFDL notice instead please let me know. There are a couple of web pages that I keep in the release and I wasn't sure if I should put the GFDL on them, it didn't seem quite right to me. So I copied the notice from the www.fsf.org web page. If I need to do something different for them let me know. I need to work on them anyway. I plan to change them so they link to gNewSense instead of Ubuntu. In fact this reminded me I need to go through all of the documentation and get it up to date, some of it is very out of date. This also brought up another question I have had: do the public objects/data need some sort of copyright? For example this web page is generated from the public objects: "http://www.worldwide-database.org/cgi-bin/list_files.cgi?md5";, does it need some kind of a copyright notice? (Note: I plan to add the gNewSense releases to that data in the near future. I was using Ubuntu at the time I started that and I used it as an example. I had hoped to add all of the major GNU/Linux releases, but I had no idea how much work it was to do it all by yourself. I will definitely have to have help to accomplish that. :) Anyway, I would be more than happy to do another release if I didn't get it quite right yet. Just let me know. Thanks again for all of your help -Scott On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 8:18 AM, J.
