One file in Tom Janes' Visual Euphoria program
consists of an amalgamation of the files in euphoria\include
plus some version of Win32Lib, plus a few changes of his own.
He put a GNU-style copyright notice at the top of all files
because he wants to encourage others to continue his work.
He describes what he did in his readme file, and he
mentions David Cuny. Perhaps he should have
mentioned David Cuny in the actual source files as well.
If David Cuny feels his copyright has been infringed in
any way, I will gladly remove Mr. Janes contribution.

I don't think you can copyright an 8.3 file name,
especially one with an obvious name like Win32API.ew
I don't think many people will confuse Tom's file with yours.

No they won't.
What about the 99% who have never even seen Tom Janes' file?
Also, Tom can only copyright *his* amalgamated file, not David's
original, or the work of Derek Parnell and others.

This would be like Microsoft owning all of my code because I choose to use
their Windows API...
Just aint so...Bernie
Actually if it were a real issue Bernie you would have to stop using
Win32Api because
Jacques Deschenes had this name along time before you propably started your
project..
"just something to chew on"
How does one go about an intellectual copyright in a time and a world that
we live in is so full
of pirates and thieves.

I'm sure there was no intent to infringe. Mr. Janes, please update your
files by:
- Restoring the original Win32Lib copyright (only to Win32Lib)
- Restoring the original Win32Lib license (only to Win32Lib)
I appreciate it. It acknowledges the work like Derek Parnel, Matthew Lewis
and others have done.
I'll also note that it's been some time since I've worked on Win32Lib -
Derek deserves almost all credit for keeping this project alive and current.
Thanks.
