Sorry, it was in the same directory as all previous tarballs I sent. Don't know what happened - maybe the hosting provider changed something. Please try the alternative download link: https://osdn.dl.osdn.net/simphone/79652/simphone-src-0.9.3-a3.tar.gz http://osdn.dl.osdn.net/simphone/79652/simphone-src-0.9.3-a3.tar.gz I hope this does not send JavaScript but it if does, perhaps you could turn JavaScript off in your browser. > If you require to install a specific image of an OS in order to reproduce, > you could as well require to install specific versions of MinGW and other > tools like a shell on that platform instead of distributing the generated > files the users have to rely on; if it were acceptable to you, that would > resolve the issue of the absense of valid legal notices in those files. We could, but we would always have to check if those specific versions of mingw and the rest are still available on the Internet and whether links to them that we would include in documentation were still valid. So we added the missing legal notices to all files in build/config-win32 by copying them from their external libraries instead. Only 10 such files were found. Also copied license texts as new files from external libraries to build/config-win32 subdirectories in cases where the added legal notices did not include license texts. This way it will be easier to maintain properly. These changes are included in the newer tarball I sent above. >>> As far as I understand, RPSL section 4.2 allows to link to the works under >>> a >>> set of licenses, but it says nothing about whether those licenses allow >>> linking with code under RPSL.

Clear enough now, thank you. rlink is not coming back and lets hope that some day we can upgrade to a mingw version that supports the --gc-sections option. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?16596> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.nongnu.org/
