Christian:
As to the 2.1.4 in the startup screen -- oops!
I will check the behavior when overwriting an existing Bach
Thanks for the report.
Hayden:
For your reference, I have attached a copy of the
Euphoria 2.3 licence (the version Bach is based on).
Note the use of the phrase 'and encouraged'
and that charging for a derivative is expressly permitted.
I have mentioned Euphoria (with links) in the website,
the manual, and the greeting screen of Bach.
I hope this alleviates your concern.
Kat:
You may be interested to know that the hacking of my site seems to
be associated with www.void.ru
They showed up on my list of referrers and when I go
to the site, I see, amongst all the russian, a box labeled "graveyard"
with catexa.com and several other sites listed. The links
point to a local mirror of the sites, and they show the same
defacement.
(my computer seems unstable today but I'm sure thats
just paranoia

Rapid Deployment Software (RDS)
Euphoria Interpreter Source Code License
for version 2.3
In exchange for payment, RDS will provide you with C source code that can be
used to build a version of the RDS Euphoria interpreter, using any of 6
supported C compilers on 3 platforms. The source code for certain registered
features has been removed by RDS. The features removed are: the trace
facility, profiling, and code related to binding.
We have tested the source with 6 different C compilers, and we are satisfied
that it can be compiled and linked correctly with all 6. However, we can't
guarantee that you will be able to compile or link the source, or achieve the
same level of speed and reliability. If you have trouble, we will provide you
with some assistance during a 3 month technical support period.
The following restrictions will apply.
1. Copying
----------
You are permitted to make backup copies for your own use. You may not
distribute copies of this source code, with or without your changes, to anyone
other than RDS or other people who you are certain are entitled to this
version of our source. If you are in doubt, you must contact RDS to find out
if the person is entitled to the source or not. If multiple programmers,
either as individuals or in a company, wish to study or work together on the
source, they must each pay RDS for a copy.
2. Acceptable Changes to the Source
-----------------------------------
RDS gives away certain Euphoria features for free, while charging for other
(registered) features. You are permitted, and encouraged, to add new features
to this source code. However, without written permission from RDS, you are not
permitted to distribute any features that are similar enough to a registered
feature, so as to significantly reduce peoples' incentive to pay RDS for that
feature. The registered features currently include:
* binding: You must not provide a way to attach files to a Euphoria
interpreter, thus converting a Euphoria program into a single
executable file. (Shrouding is not restricted, since it can be
performed without this source code, and without any knowledge contained
in this source code.)
* trace facility: You must not provide a source debugging capability, or
a log file mechanism for tracing execution of statements.
*
profiling: You must not provide statement-count or time profiling in
any form.
* Translator to C: You may not use this source to create and distribute a
program that translates Euphoria programs into C/C++ programs.
* Translator library: You may not use this source to create and
distribute a library for use with the Euphoria To C Translator.
In the future, other features may be added to this list, and some features may
be deleted. You are bound by whatever features are listed in the License
Agreement at the time you purchase the source.
Note that we are limiting what you are allowed to distribute to others, not
what you are allowed to construct in the privacy of your own machine.
3. Porting
----------
We encourage you to port this software to new machines and operating systems.
4. Distribution of Executables
------------------------------
Provided your changes are acceptable, you can compile the source, using any
compiler, and distribute copies of the resulting executable file (but not the
source or the intermediate object files). You can give your executables away
for free, or charge any fee you like.
5. Ownership of New Features
----------------------------
You own the source code for any features or changes that you make, and you are
not required to make public any source code that you develop. If you do make
your source code public, other than to RDS, or those you are certain are
entitled to our source code, you must not expose more than a few lines of RDS
source code along with it. The fact that you implemented a feature does not
preclude RDS or anyone else from implementing the same or similar features.
6. Public Discussion
--------------------
You can publicly discuss the algorithms used by our source code in open
forums, and you can mention the names of C routines, variables and other
identifiers in the code, but you must not reveal actual lines of source code.
7. Acknowledgement
------------------
You are required to acknowledge the use of our source code, list our Web site,
http://www.RapidEuphoria.com, and indicate the general nature of any changes
you made to our source code, in any programs that you distribute. The
acknowledgement could be displayed by the program, or be in the accompanying
documentation, but it must be plainly visible to most users.
8. Damages
----------
RDS is not responsible to you for any damages that arise from your use of this
source code, and you must inform your users, in your documentation or in your
derived programs, that RDS is not responsible to them for any damages.
9. Evil Intent
--------------
You may not use the source to create any viruses, worms, trojans or other
software that is intended to cause damage to any computer systems or networks,
or that would intentionally harm the reputation of Euphoria or RDS.
