Subject: Some Metrics on the ZCPR3 Release
ZCPR3 is not in the public domain. However, I have no intentions of
making any money on it (altho I may make some thru Echelon, but that
is just gravy), and distribution is taking place via the
conventional "public domain" channels. ZCPR3 is being released to the
User Community, whatever that is.
You see, the whole issue of PD software has turned into such a mess
... if I "call" it PD software, I lose all rights to it. In the
manner it is going out, the PD community can freely access it without
any loss of rights on my part. There are conveniences in acquiring it
thru Echelon, such as hardcopy of the documentation and support, but
Echelon is just an alternative you have (as opposed to SIG/M, BBSes,
etc). Feel free to access it in any manner convenient to yourself.
