Subject: GSNumerics Freeware Reclassification Varification From: cturley2@aol.com (Cturley2) Newsgroups: comp.sys.apple2 Lines: 109 NNTP-Posting-Host: ladder05.news.aol.com X-Admin: news@aol.com Date: 31 May 2000 00:01:33 GMT Organization: AOL http://www.aol.com Message-ID: <20000530200133.09141.00000078@ng-mb1.aol.com> The following is my reclassification request email to the copyright holder and programmer of GSNumerics. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: September 19, 1998 To: Julian Pugh Spring Branch Software P.O. Box 342 Manchester, IA 52057 (319) 927-6537 Hello Julian, I spoke with you by telephone a few years ago about allowing the GS Numeric program for the Apple IIgs to be allowed to be made available as a freeware. In that conversation you agreed to allow it's distribution as a freeware. In preparation to make an archive of the GS Numeric program disk, as a ShrinkIt GS archive, I discovered my original and its backup disks had become corrupted with age and could not be archived. After a long search, I finally obtained another GS Numeric disk that is fine. I need to get an email reply from you now - stating that it's OK to make the GS Numeric ShrinkIt archive available as a freeware - so that I can upload it to our few remaining Apple IIgs public ftp sites for use by the few remaining users for the Apple IIgs. I called your number above earlier this week and your wife said you'd be back by today or tomorrow. Tried calling you today and got no answer. So, I'm sending you this email and asking for an email reply to allow me to do this. I think it might be a good idea also to include in your email reply that as a freeware, it is not to be included in any commercially sold bundle, CD, etc. but, rather is to be made available as a freeware without cost, via ShrinkIt archive format only. Thanks and I'll be looking forward to your reply. Sincerely, Tom Charles T. Turley 115 Santa Clara St. Brisbane, CA 94005-1736 Voice: 415-468-1609 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the AOL email from the copyright holder of GSNumerics giving me permission to make it available as a freeware reclassification title. I found both when cleaning up one of my hard drives today. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- September 20, 1998 From: HilltopD Subj: Re: No Subject To: Cturley2 Tom, You have permission to make the GSNumerics Programs available as freeware, as outlined in your e-mail of September 19, 1998. Julian L. Pugh Spring Branch Software, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Should anybody care to varify this they can reach the author and copyright holder of GSNumerics (Julian L. Pugh) by email at AOL or as noted above. His exact email address is: hilltopd@aol.com This post is being made to clear up any questions some people have expressed in the past concerning the reclassification of GSNumerics from its commercial status to freeware status. I trust that Willie Yeo and the people who maintain the gno.org site, as well as the Delphi A2 archive library will now be able to make the archive available for public access and download needs without any question - as a reclassified freeware. I ask Willie Yeo and others that do make the archive available from their archive sites, web sites, etc. to give notice with the archive of GSNumerics stating that I do deserve credit for the reclassification efforts with GSNumerics, by including this post with the archive. Should anybody care to download the GSNumerics archive it is available from my web site from the following URL. http://www.grin.net/~cturley/OSRL/GS.Numerics.Freeware/GSnumerics.SDK The GSNumerics archive is also available from the Ground ftp site from this URL. ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/apple2/apple16/Misc/GSnumerics.SDK TIA and Cheers, Tom
