Hey, looks like you did a great job extending my initial
implementation, but changing a couple of variables and proc
naming does not allow you to appropriate everything
without even giving due credit !!!
Please re-read the License terms on my implementation:
you were not allowed to remove my name or even
change the (c).
I don't want to be bitching and moaning or sound like a
jerk about another great piece of free software, but *please*
be nice and honest and fix your pages and files
at least to add due CREDIT to my implementation
(with name URL and email,etc...). And we'll have to work
out the exact (c) terms anyway...
(in case you would have 'forgotten' where you found the
initial implementation it is on
http://www.demailly.com/tcl/rcx/
)
{the fact that I had my first baby recently and I had
no time to work on TclRCX in those last weeks does not
mean I won't in the future or you can appropriate my
work without even contacting me or crediting me...}
Very surprised, quite dispointed,
Laurent Demailly

| Hi, Does anyone use legOS? I read that there are possible risks to getting other ROM images. What are the risks? I am using a GNU/Linux machine. Is there anything else involved in using legOS other than getting GNU binutils, building a gcc cross (...) (25 years ago, 25-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)

| Laurent has a good point. While I did not use and modify his code, I did find it during my development and fear I have studied it too closely in places, without crediting him. I have removed access to my files from the server so we can discuss this. (25 years ago, 25-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
