Hello everyone. The files posted here are *not* at risk. Has anyone even read the GPL I proposed? The files are FREE to use and use parts of, expand on, create new works based on it, etc... but this protects your code from *commercial* use. I contacted everyone who had contributed code before I put it under the GPL. Please read it and let me know if you are misunderstanding something. Yes, I'm working on the modules and am trying to get at least two shipped per week. If you have any questions regarding your module, email me privately. I do answer my emails. All these messages the last two days have been really upsetting. I shipped a LOT of modules and haven't heard a word from most of those folks. The majority of the private emails I'm receiving are very positive. It seems all the negativity is spawning here and I need to know what to do to put an end to the bashing. *** I am trying to wrap this up as quickly as possible and WILL have ALL the remaining modules shipped within the next 30 days. That is a PROMISE. *** I haven't gone away. Those of you waiting on modules... your module is safe and sound right now on my kitchen table. I'll upload a photo of the remaining modules in their current state as soon as I can. I went home for lunch today (first time in almost two years) and spent that time (all 30 minutes of it I had) working on the modules. Yes, I am working a LOT of hours but I am committed to finishing this run of PSIM-1 modules and getting back into the swing of things. So, the issues currently: Shipping status: currently about two per week. GPL on the code: Please read the license. I've had almost a dozen people contact me now regarding using the code for commercial industrial designs they are working on. This is not what I intended. I'm trying to PROTECT our code by using the GPL. Does anyone have a better solution? How about the Creative Commons licensing? Thoughts? I've spent a LOT of hours reworking the programs (adding the GPL header, contributing coders, cleaning up mistakes, making them more consistant, etc.). This has taken a lot of time (something I honestly do not have a lot of) and if I need to rework it again for a CC license or ??? I can. Let's hear your thoughts. But please, *first* read the GPL. Grant, I spoke to you about adding the GPL *before* I did so. Remember? It does NOT in any way make it so the code isn't FREE. If code is placed into the "Public Domain", it is FREE to use in commercial products and I do *not* want to see people start SELLING PSIM-1 programs like ROMs for the Mini-Wave. That is totally against everyting I intended from the beginning. I want the PSIM-1 community to work together to develop new ideas and programs (virtual modules). Also, Grant... you have my phone number. Why haven't you called if you have issues with this or emailed me privately? Let's talk soon. I hope this clears up some things...
