Any reason why you use such an ancient toolset?

You should note that as you are redistributing nasm you need to include its licence in your documentation. The same may be true of other programs that you are redistributing.
This is a legal obligation.

Re: Announcement: IdealOS
I don’t think that anyone can force me to act by referring to such laws. But let this someone try.
Re: Announcement: IdealOS
Don't think yourself too safe. While it is unlikely anyone would take any action, and it is highly unlikely anyone would try to sue you personally in Belarus, they can still take down your github account. Over something as petty as including the bloody license in the documentation. Is that risk worth it to you?Alexey1994 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 9:51 am I don’t think that anyone can force me to act by referring to such laws. But let this someone try.

Re: Announcement: IdealOS
Apart from anything else it’s a simple courtesy to the author of the software. If it’s good enough to use it’s good enough for their contribution to be acknowledged.

Re: Announcement: IdealOS
Deleting my github account will not harm me in any way, on the contrary, I will not need to maintain it. And I already store my code on hard drives, they are cheap. You need my account so you can look at my work.nullplan wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 10:40 am Don't think yourself too safe.

Well, as for intellectual property rights in the USA, take a look at the source code of windows nt 3.51, which is in the public domain

Re: Announcement: IdealOS
I don't know the author, he doesn't know me. If I call him an offensive word, it won’t matter to him. Same with courtesy, unless the author is a sadist and wants everyone to fawn over him like Zuckerberg’s servants.
The fact that I use the author’s product warms his soul more than senseless bureaucracy.
Of course, you are right in some ways, but this will not lead to action on my part.

Re: Announcement: IdealOS
If you refuse to respect others licenses, than why do you expect anyone to respect yours? Do you expect everyone to fawn over _you_, because you're somehow better than him?Alexey1994 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 11:23 amI don't know the author, he doesn't know me.

Re: Announcement: IdealOS
If this is a moral issue, then I am not morally sensitive. You can use my programs without any restrictions for yourself, the main thing is to use them. I have the MIT license there because it seemed the most permissive. Maybe I’m using the wrong license, because I don’t want anyone to be obliged to indicate me as the author of something there, because it’s already clear who wrote IdealOS.PavelChekov wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2024 7:53 am If you refuse to respect others licenses, than why do you expect anyone to respect yours?

Re: Announcement: IdealOS
The MIT licence requires exactly what you scorn. You are demanding of others something that you are too lazy to do.

Re: Announcement: IdealOS
The source code for Windows NT is not in the public domain, and is only circulating online because it was leaked. The fact it's been uploaded to the Internet Archive and hasn't been taken down by Microsoft does not give you the right to use the code. I'm pretty sure that even (admitting to) looking at it taints you if you ever wanted to contribute to Wine or ReactOS for example.Alexey1994 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 11:00 am Well, as for intellectual property rights in the USA, take a look at the source code of windows nt 3.51, which is in the public domain https://archive.org/details/nt351.889

Re: Announcement: IdealOS
I understand that this is an example, but damn, why contribute there if the original NT is already good? And you can even change the source code to suit your needs. How shouldn't you value your time? Moreover, where reputation is valued, not skills.
