But there seems to be an understandable reluctance to declare that WebObjects (as defined in LeBer-III), is abandonware to the extent that the Oracle v Google decision on Java APIs (https://www.eff.org/cases/oracle-v-google) would not apply to it. When we (by some definition of "we", I have no idea what) agree that that case does not apply because it is abandonware, TB could start again in a heart-beat. There seem to be too many unknowns, now, to justify the work. - ray > > > On 2 de out de 2015, at 20:43, Paul Yu <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> > >> On Oct 2, 2015, at 7:00 PM, Paul Yu <[email protected] > >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > >> > >> Upon further reading of the wiki page. > >> > >> Due to copyright enforcement duration, it does us no good for us > >> to declare WebObjects and its frameworks abandoned by Apple. > >> Since Apple has not and will probably not release it copyright > >> ownership on the software. > >> > >>> <snip> _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
