Not ignoring this thread, just having to deal with settlement of an estate currently. Will be back, hopefully, next week. Phil - this legal stuff can drive...
... Gee Whiz, Peter, do you always think in terms of PWD offerings. Does you product stop functioning without a PWD license? What about non PWD license...
... Uh, IBM's license has no bearing on those not taking a license through IBM. At present PWD is the only Flex-ES-based offering of IBM. Should I be...
... Ok, so now you state IBM's license has no bearing on non-licensees. This is something IBM might disagree with, if it involves their IP. "PWD is the only...
... There is no IBM license for Flex-ES when sold through our own channels to the production customer, and of course there is no AD-CD for a production...
... Would you have posted the same message had he been using Flex-ES? Or a P/390? Or a z/800? I doubt it. IBM's license does not allow disaster recovery...
... Then you'd be wrong. The guy posted a series of notes which indicated that he is likely misconstruing the normal rights granted with an IBM license. (he...
... I'm saying that the IBM Program License Agreement does not allow for disaster recovery testing in any manner. Any understanding IBM may have with Sungard...
I still have the same question: DFSMSdss is licensed. The old SYS1.SAMPLIB(ADRDMPRS) was part of DFSMSdss so was licensed. If I compile and link a cobol...
... I believe IBM and SCO are fighting about "irrevocability" just now .... In the case of open source, someone's ability to affect its distribution after the...
... Indeed. While I think SCO's full of prunes, they do raise an interesting (in the Chinese sense of the word) question. ... My position is as is has always...
Then your proposition that QPL protects against someone like IBM from interferring with distribution of Herc is based not on upon any inherent trait of the QPL...
... That's not what I said. If you'd read further, you'd have seen the discussion of the Linux kernel. There's nothing about that discussion that is limited to...
I see nothing special here about the operation of open source in the case where someone's rights were abused. Both open and closed source licenses have ...
... I seem to remember some discussion on the list a couple of years ago about the fact that someone else had Hercules trademarked for some computer-related...
... It hasn't been resolved yet, but it also hasn't been an issue, either. I was talking strictly about IBM. ... That's possible; however, whenever the subject...
... I was considering open source licenses only because closed-source licenses typically carry no redistribution rights at all. For those few cases where the...
... Your equivalencing these two fact situations tends to confirm in my mind that a license to property granted without authority is the THE issue, and not...
... Uhm...huh? I don't understand the point you're making. The open source nature of Hercules makes it impossible for me to stop everyone from distributing any...
... I don't think it will cost more than a postage stamp to solicit a yes or no out of them. Remind me why it makes no sense to write them asking for a...
... <snip> ... Howdy Peter, Are you representing IBM in some manner of agency? Do you have a legal entitlement to examine or inquire of the specifics of...
Phil, No legal entitlement and not representing anyone and no agency. Is there something in what you've quoted that suggests or implies otherwise? My ...
In the interest of once again stirring this pot :) , Oh , sorry that's what I'm responding to :)) It has to be fair to say that Peter has a strong interest in ...
Roger, I believe you are misrepresenting the exchange from which you've extracted my posting. The full post was: ... How about $4500 per year for three years...
(Moving to Herc-Advocacy) ... Sounds as if a web site "take down" letter was sent by the Dignus counsel and Greg Price was not in position to weigh the...
... I'm saying that there's been a lot of folks pestering people who say they're licensed to run IBM software on Hercules. Those people may or may not be able...
... Your expression of certainty is the logical flaw. Take for instance eduard@..., the poster with the subject line "I can't ipl from my OS390 V2.10...
... Hello Peter, I almost responded to this specific question on the main list, then thought it would serve no purpose there. So, without further ado. Does the...
