From a fidonet member point of view i would like to see       support for as many as possible hard- and software platforms. On the other       hand old code running on old hard- and software will continue to work on old       systems like they do now.              If your question is if it's possible to break with backwards compatibilty then       my qualified answer is: Yes, it's possible because of the content in the       gold_usr.txt:              ####       I would rather release the source code and let       interested users carry it onwards at their own pace. So after careful       examination of the variety of open source compliant licenses out       there, I chose GPL and LGPL.              Thank you for your support and understanding.              Odinn Sorensen.       ####              So thanks to Odinn and open source you are on your own. :-)              Feel free to start your own fork - maybe "golded++"? ;-) Let the legacy code       experts decide which code could be merged to the legacy builds.              Regards              Kai              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.4.7        * Origin: Monobox (2:240/77)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 18/200 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 104/117 105/81       SEEN-BY: 106/201 123/131 124/5016 129/305 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0       SEEN-BY: 214/22 218/0 1 215 700 720 840 860 870 880 920 930 221/0       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 400 426 428 452       SEEN-BY: 229/470 664 700 240/77 1120 2100 5411 5413 5824 5832 5853       SEEN-BY: 240/6309 266/512 280/464 5003 5555 282/1038 291/111 292/854       SEEN-BY: 292/8125 301/1 305/3 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 341/66       SEEN-BY: 341/234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2432/390 2454/119 5020/400       PATH: 240/77 5832 280/464 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
