THIS DIRECTORY: Projects with defective licence status that might be
fixed, and for a few that seem worth keeping around even though they're
technically unlicensed and are destined to remain so (e.g., Doc).
o All offerings under genuinely open-source / free-software licence terms
are in the main, parent directory (above this one).
o All open-source development tools / documentation for PalmOS are in
subdirectory "development".
o All open-source other-OS-based data-exchange & similar tools are in
subdirectory "other-os".
o All offerings under proprietary licence terms are in the subdirectory
named "proprietary" (sibling to this one).

LinesColor is a colour version of

violation of Gorodchanin's licence
terms. From:

LinesColor is a colour version of
Dmitry Gorodchanin's Lines game, by
Konstantin Klyatskin. This file is
the alleged source code archive as
required by the GNU GPL -- but is
incomplete. All my inquiries to
Klyatskin about this situation have
been ignored (although they were
successfully delivered). One is left
to strongly suspect that he is violating
Gorodchanin's licence terms. From:

Wabburami is the classic Hammurabi

David M. Archer. PalmOS binary.

at the 1999 JavaOne developer
conference, and on a C code version

19978 Dec 1 22:27 wabburami.java Wabburami is the classic Hammurabi
game. Waba source code for PalmOS, by
David M. Archer, based on Sun's Rumor
game distributed at the 1999 JavaOne
developer conference, and on a C code
version Archer found in SCO's Open
License Software Supplement (Skunkware)
archive, ftp.sco.com/skunkware/ .
It is unclear what licence, if any,
the resulting derivative work falls
under.[1] From:
http://wabburami.sourceforge.net/
[1] Source code (lawfully) released to the public without any licence is
technically _proprietary_ software, as recipients have (under USA law,
at least) only the implied right to download, compile, use, and modify
it, and to distribute modifications as patches -- but not to further
distribute the original code, or modified versions thereof.
As the saying goes, no licence means unlicensed. (See: 17 USC 117,
http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/117.html)
(In that strict sense, I have no permission to distribute Doc, ImageCompressor,
Rolling Cubes, TinyViwer, or wabburami, but think it highly unlikely their
authors would object -- and technically listing lines-color here violates
Dmitry Gorodchanin's licence for Lines, but I list it here mostly to call
attention to the copyright issue.)
Programmers should beware of the no-licence issue: All the claims you
see of such code being "freely distributable" or "public domain" (on no
better evidence than it having no licence statement) are, strictly
speaking, factually in error, and it cannot be safely used in open-source
AKA free-software projects. (It is legally possible for a grant of
licence to be oral, or through conduct, etc., but do you want to rely
on that, let alone merely assume it?)
By the way, please don't blame Ken Shirriff for his licence: It's the
best that his employer's (Sun Microsystems's) lawyers would allow him to
use.
