Unfortunately, the Ada Letters web site
http://www.acm.org/sigada/ada_letters/March1999.html only provides the
abstract. I still have the paper in PDF format and am quite willing to have
it posted at that site. If necessary, I can post it on my corporate web
site. However, I believe that it would be far more appropriate for all of
the papers of the March 1999 and hopefully other issues to be on the
sigada/ada letters web site. This is the least we can do to help Ada. In the
interim, anyone who is interested can e-mail me at rleif@rleif.com and I
will send the PDF file.

Subject: The Ada Developers Cooperative License (was Re: RE:)


I suppose there are some who put their software out under GPL free of charge
from some sort of contempt for the free enterprise system. Unfortunately, if
that is their objective, they are merely subsidizing the Filthy Capitalist
Running-Dog Oppressors of the Poor Working Masses that they hold in
contempt. I, for one, have no such contempt for honest enterprise and legal
profit. :-)

If you have a link to this paper, it might be a good thing to post it. I
rather enjoyed the article myself & I think it made me a big supporter of
the ADCL concept.
