First, let me state clearly upfront, this is NOT an attempt to fan any flames, or bring out the trolls. This is first and foremost one more big THANK YOU!! to Clive for all the time and effort put into CSOS.
I do not claim to speak for Clive, and I don't know that this is the actual or the entire situation. I may be out of line for saying as much as this with no actual info, but to all the perplexed readers - please go back and read the whole thread. Clive's frustration did not come about overnight, and his legal concerns have very significant merit. Please note, that the one thing NOBODY has offered to do is take over the hosting and distribution along with the legal quagmire that it invites. Most of us don't have the resources, even if we wanted to, but regardless, it is not a trivial thing to host and distribute software in a world with potentially litigious people. I'm not trying to scare someone away from offering to help, but please, before you beg Clive to either continue or make an exception for you, or heaven forbid, condemn him for retiring, contemplate the perpetual stress that having a potential claim hanging over you (and your family) can cause and juxtapose that against the whiners and complainers. Clive, I wish you a happy retirement and again thank you for all you have so freely given, at significant cost, both financial and emotional! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rmac321's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
