I'm disapointed, the license didn't change.
I don't know what to do.

what does this realy mean?
"(ii) Any derived versions of this software (howsoever modified)
remain the sole property of Synesis Software."

Doesn't it mean that if I improve that software in any way
those improvements are property of Synesis?
For instance: I decided not to use recls for 2 reasons:
- not in D style
- unimplemented features I needed.
If I could live with the first I might have implemented the missing
(but planed) features of recls. Wouldn't the product of my work
be property of Synesis? Am I wrong?
Now an hipotetical senario (this specific case cannot happen because
I created my own Directory listing class before having access to recls):
If after the hipotetical work on recls (effectivelly work donnated to
Synesis) I decided to create my how implementation of a directory
listing package. That's when the real problems begin! I'm afraid
that Synesis then would say that I couldn't have done it before
seeing the recls code, therefore all my work is Synesis property.
That's why I don't want to download any source code under the
Synesis license.
IANAL and that's why I have to play safe.

I don't care how Matthew chooses to make his contributions available. I just don't want to download source code with that license.

can we have separate downloads for LGPL/Artisic and SSSSL?

<snip top of upside-down reply>

I think we all are.  With the time it's taking to put in a fix that's already been written, at this rate we've not enough version numbers left to get everything ready for 1.0, unless we start going in 0.001 increments from 0.9.

But at least it seems Walter's finally acknowledged my fix and is going to put it in 0.90, which at this rate is going to be announced in a post titled "DMD 0.89 release"....

Stewart.

I know. It will, it's just that Matthew and myself haven't gotten to it yet.

I've attached std.asserterror.d if you want to start using it now <g>.
