- THIS DIRECTORY: Proprietary PalmOS software (and information about
- same) -- serving two purposes:
-
- (1) It's where unique, outstanding proprietary apps that cannot
- be ignored (e.g., Hackmaster) will be listed.
- (2) It documents the proprietary status of entries commonly classed
- elsewhere, in error, as open source / free software.
-
-
- o All general 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 projects with defective licence status are in subdirectory "unlicensed"
- (sibling to this one).
