Nice to meet you, too. Curious as to what your intention is by pointing out my investment in years of profit-free GPLv3 development, and that somehow that is tied to the BSD license of the compiler's creator. Care to elaborate on a better method? I miss Turbo Assembler, which is in part what brought fasm into existence. "Advertisement" for GPLv3 sources? I am not ashamed to openly admit my company would love more contract work, consider what I have contributed for free the "world's most expensive curriculum vitae". I'm interested to hear what other open source decision makers have to say about this, but 2 Ton Digital as a Software resource has made me bupkiss. More the point, when someone wants something that requires a higher-than-average level of skill, we get business. The community as a whole gets to benefit because I keep turning it loose with no strings attached. Isn't that the way it is supposed to work?

I don't think akavel was criticizing you. Advertising ones own projects is encouraged here.

Well put. I think your approach is sound, and it's a good way to get more exposure for your business.

Hmh; I think there might have been kinda misunderstanding (?) - I'll edit my comment to change "interesting" to "nice", hopefully this way it will better express my original intent. In other words, big thanks for making me aware of the FASM! Not sure if I'll ever use it, but totally worth remembering for future, just in case. Or, who knows; maybe for some hobby AVRing I hope to do it'd be actually easier than the whole AVR-GCC stuff?

  Your use of the word "apart" right at the beginning is likely to be a cause of confusion. Clearly, in this context, you mean it in the "as well as" sense, but I initially read it in the "instead of" sense, and I think most other English-as-1st-language speakers would do the same. Qualifying it e.g. "quite apart from..." can avoid the misunderstanding.
