Well now that I read forward and saw his terms, I agree with them...except
that the BBW can't hardly not release something he already released I dont
think (though Dale might). I feel that he has every right to hold out for
the release of the docs and the test suite...but I think as long as we are
willing to go to the pains to build this ourselves we can use it. I think
however that his being upset at Inprise should not end up in us being
punished as apposed to Borland. I would like to see him paid too, after
all I would like to be able to thoroughly test my builds also. I would
however like to see this resolved so I dont have to fool with building
this on every platform I use...a binary release would be nice, but for now
I am gonna build it if she will compile.
