Hi Jim, I think you confused SourceForge with SlashDot, although both sites are owned by the same company.
But there are really two seperate issues here: 1) is the thing mentioned in the yellow box on www.freedos.org about SYS and FDXXMS. Well at least they mention it now (I can sleep well as co-copyright holder of SYS I guess): http://www.drdos.com/products/drdos81.htm "Portions are licensed under GPL (SYS v2.6 and FDXXMS v.92) or other licenses." 2) is what you only see when you click on "Read More", "the stolen work of Udo Kuhnt which they now sell as theirs", well that is not really a FreeDOS issue but something between Udo Kuhnt and DRDOS Inc. I don't think "stolen" is the correct word, since Udo could have known this could happen: it's entirely legal for the owners of DRDOS to do this. If Udo would not like this he should not have started his work. Pat Villani mentioned that this could happen over 7 years ago! http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freedos-dev&m=90221486827973&w=2 And I agree with him, for the record. Of course the unprofessional way in which these things appeared to have been done does not give me much confidence in DRDOS Inc. It's just that stolen refers to something done illegally, which it isn't. Bart ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
