@vmc:
Quote: as you and may others already know, Amithlon is not madeby a single person. Mr. Meyer is the author of many and Get lost, if you think you have any reason at all, leave it to the proper channels instead of handling it on forums or making threats elsewhere. For the ones not knowing his sad story, he was the one to hinder one of the most remarkable piece of software of recent Amiga History, Amithlon.

It seems fair enough to me, but how long should a fair grace period be?

AFAIK, it is stripped down to the bare essentials needed to get the JIT compiler up and running, and it has hooks into the JIT copiler too. Bernie and Harald would know more than me.

He says that after 6 months he'll stop working on the kernel and start developing OS 4 apps. It's my betting he'll clean up the code and release it then. Unless you really need it and are taking a financial hit, don't cause an argument just because you want to use his software before it's finished / he's satisfied with it. Give him a grace period - we need good developers like this. EDIT: On re-reading I see you were going to leave it to Harald Frank to fight his own battle. Fair enough. Chris

I have the tendency not to play nice with people like that. There is a public organization, I will try to find the name, that can force him to relese it. I would send him an email asking for the source and simply expalin. You have two options, release the code or be reported to "what ever the name of the board is" for possiable leagle action. The would think the only reason he hasn't yet is that no one has bothered to push the issue. |

Hello Nicholas,
there is a problem with Mr. Colville, he do not follow the GPL under which the Amithlon kernel sources fall. Me and many many other requested from him the source/changes to the kernels he made, but as of today he has never given any sources out to the public. I still hope that he one day will follow the GPL and stop his violation so that others can benefit from the work he spent into this project also. Best regards, Harald Frank |
