THIS DIRECTORY: Projects with defective licence status that might be fixed, and for a few that seem worth keeping around even though they're technically unlicensed and are destined to remain so (e.g., Doc). o All offerings under genuinely open-source / free-software licence terms are in the main, parent directory (above this one). o All open-source development tools / documentation for PalmOS are in subdirectory "development". o All open-source other-OS-based data-exchange & similar tools are in subdirectory "other-os". o All offerings under proprietary licence terms are in the subdirectory named "proprietary" (sibling to this one).

PalmOS binary under the GNU GPL -- but with the source kept unavailable, in apparent violation of Gorodchanin's licence terms.

This file is the alleged source code archive as required by the GNU GPL -- but is incomplete. All my inquiries to Klyatskin about this situation have been ignored (although they were successfully delivered). One is left to strongly suspect that he is violating Gorodchanin's licence terms.

It is unclear what licence, if any, the resulting derivative work falls under.[1] From: From: http://wabburami.sourceforge.net/ 19978 Dec 1 22:27 wabburami.java Wabburami is the classic Hammurabi game. Waba source code for PalmOS, by David M. Archer, based on Sun's Rumor game distributed at the 1999 JavaOne developer conference, and on a C code version Archer found in SCO's Open License Software Supplement (Skunkware) archive, ftp.sco.com/skunkware/ . It is unclear what licence, if any, the resulting derivative work falls under.[1] From: http://wabburami.sourceforge.net/ [1] Source code (lawfully) released to the public without any licence is technically _proprietary_ software, as recipients have (under USA law, at least) only the implied right to download, compile, use, and modify it, and to distribute modifications as patches -- but not to further distribute the original code, or modified versions thereof. As the saying goes, no licence means unlicensed. (See: 17 USC 117, http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/117.html) (In that strict sense, I have no permission to distribute Doc, ImageCompressor, Rolling Cubes, TinyViwer, or wabburami, but think it highly unlikely their authors would object -- and technically listing lines-color here violates Dmitry Gorodchanin's licence for Lines, but I list it here mostly to call attention to the copyright issue.) Programmers should beware of the no-licence issue: All the claims you see of such code being "freely distributable" or "public domain" (on no better evidence than it having no licence statement) are, strictly speaking, factually in error, and it cannot be safely used in open-source AKA free-software projects. (It is legally possible for a grant of licence to be oral, or through conduct, etc., but do you want to rely on that, let alone merely assume it?) By the way, please don't blame Ken Shirriff for his licence: It's the best that his employer's (Sun Microsystems's) lawyers would allow him to use.
