Thanks for the notice Rob. Here's hoping a motivated user picks up the flag and runs with it.
Peter -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Robert Prins Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2018 4:36 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: SPFLite goes Open Source Just got this from George Deluca via the SPFLite mailing list, it's great news, but... <quote> Hi, I had always promised you wouldn't be bothered often by SPFLite announcements, but this one is a bit more important. Version 10.1.8350 has been made available on the Website. As of this release, SPFLite has become Open Source. What does that mean? - SPFLite is now completely free and does no nagging about registration. - It no longer checks the SPFLite Website for new releases. - The full source and development folder is available for download from the website. - Licensed under the GNU GPL (V3) license, it should ensure that SPFLite and any other versions developed from the source remain also free under the GPL license. At the same tome, both Robert Hodge and I are backing off our involvement in maintenance and development. We have separate reasons and you should visit the website where we explain our reasons more fully. SPFLite is NOT losing all support, it is just going to be happening at a much slower pace. Mainly because both of us are also moving at a much slower pace as well. So please visit: www.SPFlite.com for more information George Deluca </quote> Sigh... -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
