Re: What happen if... (related GPL & src)

OK, I have understand some things, I guess, but there is some feeling
in me that still dosent like GPL I have my reasons (I will not
explain them here and need to read more), but anyway, I will read the
code, like I understand it dosent have "power" to cover what I whant
to do, and that is:
Read the code and write a paper called "look inside" I select GCC and
mesa3d because languages, 3D and OS are my favourite topics amoung
others, but specifically this ones. I dont really know much about this
topics (languages and 3D), then I will take your source code like my
first book [books dosent restrict you in what you do with the
knowledge that you acquire, from what book have you readed first?
(curiosity)] (because I dont have much money for buy a book like the
red dragon or others that are called "must have").
I will not write a front end, only will analise the ideas/algorithms
and the basic structure.
When I am ready to make my language it will be completely new, this
mean it will not look like GCC or even C or another one, I am
targeting other things more related to languages (decidability,
readability, comucability, and other logic philoshopic things out
there... altough dont know much), pheraphs targetting poetry in the
expresion ;), nice.
This is because I will not distribute the programm (aka software), I
will be in the part of analize the source code, that I think/know is a
diferent thing.
Only a last favour (very off-topic sure), you have a good resource for
learn ADTs/algorithms?
Thanks for answer me about not to fear the GPL license. By the way, if
you whant to follow I have posted in the place that was recommend before.
Thank you all.
Can you write proper english? I have no idea to what you wrote here.
GPL means that you can modify the code as you see fit, to increase the
capability of that code, in this case, the GCC compiler collection.
GPL is copyleft. It is not restrictrive. Can you write an entire novel
based on just one book? I think not.
I have spent 20 reading science fiction. I use it daily when I'm on the
computer.
Right now, as I am typing this, I am recored Star Trek: The Next
generation with my PVR.
It was written in C++, probably GNU C++. What is restrictive in Visual
C++. Gnu C++ is alway being updated. Many changes in the software
industry are being done right here.
This list is for newcomers, like you, and companies like IBM, Electronic
Arts, Mandrake, and Redhat. Yes, even Microsoft. Bill gates has a
product that is now available for free based on the Gnu tool chain. It
integrates the posix layer into Windows. It is called Windows Services
for Unix.
I'm going to download it. I use it to speed up the system.
I have also spent 21 years programming. I started on a Vic-20, and
worked my way up to what I have now. GPL is good, not bad. Read it
again. You are not interpreting right.
It allows others to modify your code, so they can improve it, make it
better.
GCC 4.0 is coming soon. It took these guys 10 years to go from Version 1
to Verson 3.
from 3 to 4, it took them 3 years. Why? Because of the GPL and advances
in programming.
GCC also consists of Ada, Fortran, Objective C and Java. Sadly, my
platform (cygwin) has not been updated or changed in Java. No one is
interested in it. Rather that creating a new language, use one of the
standards. They are right here. All you have to do is download from CVS
or download a tar ball. Simple. And learn to write English.
