[Flightgear-devel] Re: FlightGear v0.0.9-pre3 xglobe licence issue
* Erik Hofman -- Friday 11 November 2005 14:07: How should we proceed at this point; add it prior to 0.9.9, or add it for 1.0 and provide a patch for 0.9.9? I'm strongly in favor of 0.9.9. If it takes us as long to get 1.0.0 out as it took us for 0.9.9, then there will be several releases of Linux distributions during its lifetime. Risking that fgfs won't be included in any of these releases is not a good idea. (Similar problem on BSD?) Also getting the label unfree for a whole year isn't exactly desirable. If download statistics on the fgfs homepage show many more Windows downloads than Linux, then this is probably because Linux distribution do usually come with fgfs already. Don't give this up lightly. m. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

This is the reason why I proposed to release a patch: http://www.a1.nl/~ehofman/fgfs/download/sunpos.diff Distributors can decide to patch FlightGear or not when including it in their distribution.

2005/11/11, Erik Hofman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This is the reason why I proposed to release a patch: http://www.a1.nl/~ehofman/fgfs/download/sunpos.diff Great work. Thanks, but there is still moonpos.cxx which needs to be replaced. Erik I'd also prefer to have this new code in 0.9.9.

Thanks, but there is still moonpos.cxx which needs to be replaced. I've removed moonpos.[ch]xx for this release. The only disadvantage is that the moon doesn't color yellow when near the horizon. It's hardly noticeable but it will be added for 1.0 (with updated GPL compatible code).
