34 | <PRE>>><i> Is the Alpha distributed with some kind of "not public" | |
35 | </I>>><i> license ? | |
36 | </I>>><i> I do know the term "use it at your own risk", but this | |
37 | </I>>><i> "forbidden to use on a live network" is a new one. | |
38 | </I> | |
39 | The license is the GPL, the same as it has always been, but the only | |
40 | reason I'm making it publicly available at all while it's still in alpha is | |
41 | to get help from _experienced_ users in fixing the remaining major problems | |
42 | before I take it to beta status and do a full-fledged release. (From the | |
43 | response I've seen so far I'm half inclined to take it down again.) | |
44 | ||
45 | ><i>So i think too | |
46 | </I>><i>Then i ask me, why a Alpha is Released to download from a Mainsite | |
47 | </I>><i>with a BIG Advertising link. | |
48 | </I> | |
49 | Because that's the only way to let people know who might want to help | |
50 | with an alpha test. You might also note that there's a fairly large and | |
51 | obvious warning--on two consecutive pages, no less!--before you can | |
52 | actually download the alpha version. | |
53 | ||
54 | Please remember that I have NO obligation whatsoever to provide any | |
55 | sort of "service" to you or even to publish IRC Services at all. The only | |
56 | thing I get out of Services is appreciation from users, which includes the | |
57 | recognition that I do this on my own free time without any sort of | |
58 | compensation other than the thanks of users for creating it. (Frankly, I | |
59 | would probably be a much happier person if I hadn't devoted many thousands | |
60 | of hours over six years to Services, but oh well.) Thus, I do NOT | |
61 | appreciate people ignoring warnings I put up explicitly to prevent these | |
62 | kinds of questions/complaints. | |
63 | ||
64 | Please try to act more responsibly in the future. (That applies to | |
65 | everyone.) | |
