Tom,
This message was forwarded to me. You may distribute your version of
the program as long as you note somewhere in the release notes that it
is an interim release, and that the changes therein will be folded back
into the next official release of Seyon...
That way there will only be confusion during the time between your
release and my next release.
Also, when you distribute the source, could you please append 'sco' or
something to the distribution archive filename so that only SCO users
will be enticed by your release.
I think doing those two things will lessen the impact of releasing a
separate version of the program. If that sounds workable, please let
me know.
Thanks,
Darin
(I apologize for the delay in releasing a version of Seyon with your
patches.)
