A Toast to the enTourage Software Engineers!

they locked also the GPL thread now while I was replying to Done. I hope you all enjoy the big brother Edge alienating users and programmer. Sorry but such practices are not better than Microsoft ones... So I choose the Edge for the wrong reasons, I am afraid. As I said while is up to them to release or not a SDK (not releasing is like cutting own roots) they MUST PUBLISH THE SOURCE CODE.
I will quote here something interesting, which I am sure they are aware but do not want to honor. SKYPE challenged this and they lost. What is the point of contacting via ticketing. The SOURCE MUST BE PUBLISHED. If this is not happening within a month I will start the process of taking them in to court. I am sorry, but this attitude towards enthusiastic and willing to help paying customers is not acceptable.
<<<<<START QUOTE
"2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

...b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this [GPL] License.""

The phrase "work based on the Program" in section 2 of the GPL is further defined in the GPL. Such a work is "either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language."

Section 2(b) of the GPL, in light of the definition of "work based on the Program," is sometimes described as "viral" or "infectious" because it affects any software, even the licensee's own software, that "contains or is derived from" the original GPL-licensed program. A licensee's own software, if it is a "work based on the Program," becomes subject to the terms of the GPL, thereby requiring the licensee to publish his or her own source code.

Give it a rest already.

I just hope I managed to catalyzed Entourage and get a 2.2 upgrade in the next 2 weeks and the source out tomorrow. I am kidding of course but I will buy them beer if they do that. I do not think you realize that I wanted Edge to succeed and be the most functional tablet!

I may be a little late to this thread but I'd like to throw my toast in here, as well - the toast is buttered with lots of strawberry jam on top. Whoops... Wrong type of toast.

Good work everybody at Entourage!

You're a delusional little troll if you think that enTourage requires any motivation. Your posts are an unnecessary and unwarranted distraction for enTourage personnel and regular posters alike.

I'm following Boris' lead and adding you to the ignore list.


EDIT: And I just realized that I neglected to add my thanks to everyone at enTourage who is hard at work making the eDGe an even more useful tool!

If anyone is unclear on how to add a person to their Ignore list so that you won't see the content of their posts, click the Member's name beside a post, then "View Profile", then "Add to Ignore List".

touche, my friend. You are clearly an adversary who uses two index fingers to poke an opponents eyes out, who has raised his vertical karate-style open hand to his nose

I'm thinking that you two might want to take your little bromance to PM's...

Yes, this thread has veered completely off topic

perhaps another thread then, "drsteve's and boris' slapstick duelling escapades"

it's time we had a bit of fun, given the tone of the postings of the last few days

I bet this is not going to be censored...
