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. -----Original Message----- From: comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org [mailto:comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org]On Behalf Of Marin David Condic Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 11:13 AM To: comp.lang.ada@ada.eu.org 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.
