[comp.sys.mac.programmer] d e v e l o p : What the Large Print Giveth, the Fine Print Taketh Away?

gft_robert@gsbacd.uchicago.edu (03/02/90)

I like  d e v e l o p.  It's cool.  But what's the deal with the code contained
therein (on CD)?  Can we use it?  Can we distribute it?  Both of those (at
least the first) would seem to be the intent of  d e v e l o p.  But the
lawyer's funfest at the back would seem to say otherwise.  I wondered about
this before I saw the article in MacWeek, but now I'm really confused.

Is use of code contained on the CD as limited as seems to be implied by the
CD-container's text?  Or what?

Robert

I spoke with the editor of d e v e l o p and she asked me to pass this on:

YES!  and YES!

You may use the code to whatever extent your heart desires, and you may 
distribute the code to whatever extent your heart desires.  So, the fine 
print wasn't so bad this time.
