Oh sure --- I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it technically. But I can't use any kind of open development process. So, no github or Bitbucket. And the distributions still won't touch it. And there's still a single point of failure revolving around Volker Barthelmann; I can't rely on vbcc continuing to exist.
A similar thing happened to lcc, which was a perfectly good if quite simple compiler that simply stopped being relevant because distributing was too hard.
- Zardoz84 11y agoWhy not we ask him about changing their license model? VASM and VLINK are modular. I think that if there is a problem about changing the license model, would be on these modules, not on the core of VASM and VLINK. I would be more happy if vasm/vlink/vbcc resides on GitHub or at least on a public subversion repository.
