DOS ain't dead - LZ-DOS 7.1

LZ-DOS 7.1 (Miscellaneous)

posted by sol, 20.11.2007, 19:09

What I find amusing about all this, is that Jack R. Ellis whines his ass off about people posting links to his drivers, or reposting his drivers with full copyright and without any modifications.

Yet, his friends (Johnson Lam, Lucho, who knows who else...) are posting other people's work with copyrights deleted out of it in full breach of the licenses.

Since you want to defend this crap so strongly, I'll hit you back where it hurts. I'd like to see "LZ-DOS" references removed from all your websites (Lucho, Johnson Lam & I'll be checking on others homepages).

What if you don't? Then I'll do the following:

a) Send an e-mail to a friend at MS, and see if they care. They probably won't, since they're not profiting from it. They might send out some threatening letters though. Since this may not be effective enough on its own...

b) I will take Jack Ellis' drivers, remove all references to Jack, update them and release new versions periodically under their own name. Though this isn't particularly ethical, it *is* legal, unlike what you guys are doing, since the sources were released under "free use" as opposed to BSD/GPL which require that copyright notices remain :)

You've got 10 days.
