YAM Licence

As I understood it, the previous maintainers (Jens and Thore) just resigned from the project, leaving it without current maintainers, but with the github and other infrastructure still intact. Since the project is open source, it would be natural, if you needed new features, to add them into the existing project, causing new nightly builds to emerge with those features for all supported platforms.

Or have I missed something?

Either way, yes, please, it would be very nice to get a new OS4 version with those "important bug fixes" you mentioned, even if it were only with the status of a fresh nightly dev build.

Best regards,

Why branch at all?

I agree, YAM will always be freely distributable.  That is the nature of the licence which we adhere to.

Last October we found a timer problem in YAM afer many hours of hunting down the bug.  We promptly reported the code fix in the YAM repo bug reports. Recently we have found and fixed two more bugs in RecipientString GoActive and GoInactive method.   These code changes will be fed back to the YAM repo after the weekend when we are back in office.   Going forward, we will always feed back bugs and improvements to the main repo for the benefit of the main YAM sources.

Sounds good, thank you!

(And thanks for forking the thread; I didn't expect to cause such a long discussion, but YAM is important to me as a user.)

Best regards,

Niels
