Parallel compiler maker Cilk Arts bought by Intel
- blasdel 17y agoThis should finally put an end to their licensing wankery (which has been toned down several times): http://www.cilk.com/multicore-blog/bid/7191/The-Case-for-a-New-Open-Source-License http://www.cilk.com/multicore-blog/bid/7191/The-Case-for-a-N...
- wmf 17y agoYes, but Intel may "fix" the license by just making it proprietary like most of their other development tools. IMO the worst part about the Cilk++ license is that I just don't understand it. (I suppose if I actually used Cilk++ I could ask them for a clarification.) Sometimes I think it's too bad that the Open Source Definition pretty much marginalized any innovation in open source licensing; OTOH most licensing "innovation" is evil anyway.
