I'm pleased people have gt something out of the opening cahoter of TBoS. But the book was never designed to be read online, except as a preview and a quick lookup/reminder of features. For intensive prolonged reading, the route

It wasn't at all what I was expecting. The thread actually opened with a conversation on post-WWII British aircraft manufacturing of all things and got in automated reasoning. ChatGPT made a clever remark on group theory which prompt

I skimmed these responses, I'd say that most of them are the result of not reading the material in the essay or nit-picking or ad hominem remarks. I really tried to find something of real worth. 'His argument rests on the claim

I'm afraid you don't really understand licenses. A license like BSD gives you the rights to distribute the software subject to certain provisions. It does not give you the right to change the license. I can't really spend

Your understanding is wrong I'm afraid. You cannot license software you have not written or over which you have no ownership. It is unfortunate that some people believe that the BSD license in itself gives people the rights to relice

Harold is I'm afraid bullshitting you. I really have to say lying , because at this stage there is no other word to use. Check for yourself, the files are all 3 clause BSD.

> There was no prior discussion that I can remember Actually, Harold, you are either very stupid or have Alzheimer's or are a liar. In fact there was a very long discussion, initiated by me, about GPL and BSD to which you contribute

Again Harold, a falsehood. Since you have contributed to two threads with the same misinformation, I'll make this clear, not for you, but for everybody else. Shen is under BSD and anybody who downloads it can see this. The 1/3 p

Yes, it does Harold and this is not the first or probably the last time you have placed misinformation about the Shen project online. All the files have the same standard 3 clause BSD license. But it is the very last time that I will have

A small change to a large body of work does not give you copyright over the work itself. no matter how original your change is. At most only over the change itself. Stallman's statement 'The FSF is not involved in this dispute&#x

I'll also add that I'll be asking for volunteer contributions on the Shen news group to help assemble this test suite. So people who want to expedite us here can do so.

Not really the same. That's rather like saying because I have a chassis and some wheels and an engine piled in the garage, I have a car. They have to be connected together in the right way to make Shen. Shen is available under Cloju

I'll let others judge the originality of Shen. I would say that the performance of Shen is very much a function of the platform and the person who did the port. The Merlin compiler in Qi II would, as doall points out, outpace the outp

The license was introduced before Shen was issued in September 2011 (the license came out in June) and for a year or so the only specification was Shendoc (now Shendoc 16). The understanding was that Shen was specified in that document and

The issue here was not that the port was closed; but that people helped to build it and gave their time for free on the assumption it was going to be free and readable. My post https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!t
