MPJ: I saw on your website that this software is released under the MIT license. But your application uses optcl and ffidl (included in the download) which are both GPL. Doesn't this make your application GPL? Also it would be nice to credit the people that you transmogrify[L4 ] their base code. See COM on! - a tiny web browser...

Also optcl is not a standard ActiveTcl library so the users will be required to install this too.


Scott Gamon: Optcl is now included in the download. At DDG's suggestion, I upgraded to optcl v.3010, which is not GPL. Also, I removed ffidl, again thanks to DDG. See the thread below.

Meanwhile, the browser code is inspired by code on the optcl page. In fact, I borrowed liberally from the Wiki throughout the code. So if anyone wants credit for some bit that I used, give a shout and I'll add to code comments and docs.


For Christ's sake forget about the licenses. It's a great piece of software Scott. We all know he's sharing the code, so lets enjoy ourselves in the sunshine of tomorrow. I use this program extensively and I love it. Much adoration Scott, rodblaze. (2003-11-18)

DDG: As far as I understand the latest version (may-2000!) 3010 has a tcl like license see: [L5 ]. Or I am wrong ? If you take this version and remove ffidl your MIT license should then be ok.

The focus problem can be solved without ffidl via:

 bind all <Enter> {forceFocus %W} ;# GPS change
 bind all <ButtonPress-1> {forceFocus %W} ;# GPS change

Scott Gamon: Thanks for helping me lift the GPL curse Detlef!

Without using a custom proc, the ffidl displacing code is, of course:

 bind all <Enter> {focus -force %W}
 bind all <ButtonPress-1> {focus -force %W}

And rodblaze, thanks for the love.
