One example: Libreoffice fork... Is not enough the credits in teh same name?

Well I can see a lot of common and like its a fork I think have more of the scid then new code if Im right. And yes Im happy now because some troubles I found in Scid was fixed many years ago in scidvspc. Like softrware developer I need to use the best piece of code working in my environment or with the most great list of features. > But now, for no reason i can understand, Steve (with Alex complicity) > is trying to delete the 4 years of code that people contributed to > scid and Steven didn't liked. Ok here I think you are wrong. I have projects in Sourceforge too and thats not possible when the project was released to the public. Its public at the same time its born. So the only thing possible is move the actual main line to a secondary thread. > THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, expecially considering that this is a GPL > project, you don't kill and delete concurrent projects to force people > to use your program. Anyways you can fork the project at any stage and move on from it, like Steve made some years ago. > > As i have already said neither Alex neither Steven has the right to do > this and I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS (i'll report the issue to sourceforge > and free software foundation if i have to). Thats fine but I think they cant delete anything. BUT I think is decision of the project lead move the code as his own idea. Again like opensource world allow is possible clone the actual repo and create new one in SF with another name just in case. > I hope i'm clear and there are no misunderstandings. > Bye, > Fulvio > I like the soft but I can see in the opensource world a problem: many forks for the same soft, differences?? only 2 or 3 features (possible to be merged) or new leaders... thats good and thats bad in my point of view. But we are still free to take our decisions and move on with soft A or B. Chao! Mario ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
