- My interpretation of the copying conditions is that nobody is allowed
- to distribute modified versions of MiNT 1.10 except Atari Corp. or
- somebody with a license from Atari Corp. To distribute your own version
- of MiNT you'd have to go back to 0.95 (which was freely redistributable,
- even in modified form, given that a few conditions were met (e.g., don't call
- it "MiNT")) and apply the patches that have been posted to this list.
-
- I regard this restriction a serious loss. MiNT is not the free operating
- system it once was.
-
- Anyone from Atari listening? Would it be possible to lift these restictions
- a bit?
