How hard can it be to add pdf support to open-source?
Technically, it's a matter of copying the GPLv3 license file into that
repository, and adding an appropriate note to the main source file.
It seems the considerations here aren't technical.
I assume the code is in C++ or Obhective-C.
LiveCode Builder, IIRC.
I am not a C programmer but I have learned
a little about it and might be willing to help.
First of all you would need to understand I am
not completely up to par on C so I would need
some help and simple guidelines at first.
Second since they are exclusive I want to make
sure pur work is exclusive too. That is only fair.
Working for free and helping out is one thing but
providing code for them to use exclusively does
not interest me.
If you really wanted to send a message, rather than write C for the
LiveCode community you could write it in Python for the Python community.
That is, if it weren't for the hundreds of PDF packages that already
exist for that very popular language:
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=pdf&submit=search>
Indeed it's the relationship between capabilities and audience size that
leads me to believe LiveCode will choose a simpler, more partnering
approach with their open source supporters on this PDF component.
