    by Wayne Beaton

    It’s been almost two decades since I’ve written anything in FORTRAN. And to be honest, that something was a single program and I can’t quite remember what it was (I think it might have been an expert system I named “ Electric Monk“, but I can’t be certain). I’ve known...

    by Wayne Beaton

    EPL Viral?

    by Mike Milinkovich

    Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. I have no idea why, but this question has come up in several different emails to the “license at eclipse.org” mail id this week. Maybe it’s because of Sun’s recent announcement that it was releasing Java under the GPL. The question has been asked...
