User Feedback :: Usage of murgaLua by DSL



Quote (jpeters @ June 19 2008,14:53)
There's a time for working out trivial legal details (of little importance to the user), and a time for handling an issue with adult sensitivity.

Well put.

My hope is that maybe a day of cool off will help things settle down a little. I definitely believe that Mr Murga is jumping to conclusions right now. I would like for him to feel that his work is appreciated and have DSL continue to progress with the smallest, fastest code possible.

As in many cases, the initial approach to an issue can be critical. This is an example where a negative approach generated a negative response.

EDIT: Well I see I posted too late. So much for cool off. Looks like Mr Murga is more interested in dollars than sensible resolution. This is really sad.
I can't see a problem here; the resulting file is a library, so it doesn't need to reproduce the original interactive copyright notice. Also, it looks like the file murgaLuaLib.lua has no notices / attributions that could be removed.

I can't see what this is about; but it certainly isn't worth going to court.

The attribution/licensing is done in the files accompanying the source file in the murgaLua distribution (the licenced product).

The resulting file is a library because you modified the build process removing all copyright attributions in the process.

Not at all interested in dollars, and never have been (ask any of the projects I support with my own cash).

However, if you make me take this to court you will pay the costs.

PS : If I had known what you where like I would have never given Robert permission to include murgaLua in DSL (as I did two years ago)
John,

No one is "making" you take anything to court. You are offering up that option freely. Your comments to Robert have made that clear. You have made two references about legal recourse in the US and the costs associated with that.

Sorry, but you are coming across as more of a bully than someone who is really interested in protecting his interests.
