Hi Ian,
We defenetly removing it. In my Opinion Atari has a hugh profit in
Supporting this movement.
If all the rewriting is done, Atari has no special Rights anymore. Our
self written Code is our
self written Code. But if Atari wish, they can use our Knowlege and this
is a big pro for
Atari, LeadPersuit and the whole Falcon Movement.

Really, the only owner of the code base is ATARY, no? and Owners of
additional Code, Art and DataBase must be his developers if they dont
sign any agreement with FreeFalcon or others, so ATARY at least, can
say when they like, Hey delete the source from an open place and....
Or not? am I in an error?
Cheers.

Hi @ALL
I think we should talk about the Legal aspects of our Project, so
we can dogde any
greedy attemp from someone who will sue us.
First of all:
The Legal Situation is not clear. I think where should refactor
our Codebase as soon
as possible to get rid of the old Codebase.On the new Code no one
other then the
FreeFalcon OpenSource Community has the Rights and no one else. I
think we should
go this Way but iam absolutly open for a open talk about the problems.
Replacing Propetary Thirdparty and blackboxed Libs:
As discussed with Vinny earlier, we should remove all binding to
Thirdparty
stuff wich is not Open Source or FreeSoftware (the GNU Definition
of FreeSoftware).
The Main License we distributing the Binaries and the Sourcecode
Packages are the
BSD OpenSource License (like PostgreSQL and many other famours
OpenSoruce Projects)
so we have allways to be carefull with other Licences who may
conflicting if we use
foreing Code.
Just my opinions,
Greetings, Peter
