Hi guys,
I've been coding free (as in use for no costs) software since 1994, with
60 thousand lines of code. ;-) It's open source but not exactly free (as
in you may modify, republish it etc.) software. Since about 2010, not
only I have no time to develop it but it also became obsolete, and I'm
thinking of donating it into the public domain because there's no point
of _any_ restriction anymore. However, because it's obsolete, no one
cares anyway.
But now I'm creating my own - GNU-style, generalized - utilities for
processing database exports for my job. They haven't been released yet
but I already wrote into all of them: "released into the public domain".
I consider it as a maturation of my general attitude.
mTCP/IP - as I understand, never seen it :-) - is apparently _not_
obsolete so there's a reason for people to argue and push the author into
making it (again) open source free software. From this point of view,
Michael, you should be grateful about it: it implies that there's still
use for it. ;-) Even if you would never release the new sources anymore.
And you said you _would_ release them so this is just a misunderstanding.
Either side, please, don't be mad about it!
Joe
