You haven't offered anything yet, just a lot of ranting and raving. As -I- understand the story, the original SoundTracker was placed in the public domain BY THE AUTHOR, along with the source. How do you think so many versions were made of it? Its kind of hard to do the enhancements I have seen on SoundTracker without any source. NoiseTracker is a subset program of SoundTracker, so thus, it is also public domain. On _all_ copies of SoundTracker, including the original, I have seen no reference to it being a commercial program. In fact, its quite nice to see someone publish source to their player program rather than charge $2K per license as an unnamed author of another music program does. So Joe, simply put, put-up or shut-up. Your paranoid ranting is getting to be quite annoying. >UUCP: ...iuvax!valnet!joseph >ARPA: valnet!joseph@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu >INET: joseph@valnet.UUCP -- / (Rotate head 90 degrees for full effect) | BUNGEEEEEEEE! |---------------------------------------------------------------------->=
