Aminet Copyright Upload Dilemma

[itix]

If the original author does not say you can not spread modified version you can probably proceed.

However try to reach author and ask for permission. If you can not reach original author but you wish to upload it you should use slightly different name to differentiate from the original version. Obviously you should upload your version with source code.

Well, that's part of my dilemma, Itix. The original author does say it's OK to distribute but not to modify.

If the author say it is not OK to modify then you cant distribute modified version. You could submit binary patch instead.

I suppose I should contact the author, but his email is ancient and I don't believe the company exists anymore, so I suppose I can drop aminet a line.

If you know his real name maybe up to date email address appears at google.

You don't make your sources available to the public if you don't intend for people to modify and share.

Just like dont park your car to public places if you dont intend for people to modify and share ;-)
