Artur e Paulo,
esta versão vai nos Magalhães que são distribuídos pelas escolas (os
tais 500000 que o governos comprou).
Para já não temos intenção de disponibilizar essa versão da CM ao
público em geral, nem existe forma simples de o fazer, porque essa
versão está preparada para as partições do Magalhães das escolas, entre
outra coisas que são muito especificas do hardware, e não iam funcionar
em outras máquinas.
Vamos muito provavelmente disponibilizar uma imagem VMWare, *mas mesmo
isso ainda está em estudo. *
*Estamos algo dependentes das restrições de um projecto desta
envergadura, mas assim que tivermos novidades elas serão publicitadas.
*
ah, o conceito de 'open-source' é diferente por essas bandas...
Noutras - http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php - é o que se
pode ler abaixo...
Open source doesn't just mean access to the source code. The
distribution terms of open-source software must comply with the
following criteria:
1. Free Redistribution
The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away
the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution
containing programs from several different sources. The license
shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.
*Rationale:* By constraining the license to require free
redistribution, we eliminate the temptation to throw away many
long-term gains in order to make a few short-term sales dollars. If
we didn't do this, there would be lots of pressure for cooperators
to defect.
2. Source Code
The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in
source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product
is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized
means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable
reproduction cost preferably, downloading via the Internet without
charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a
programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source
code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a
preprocessor or translator are not allowed.
*Rationale:* We require access to un-obfuscated source code because
you can't evolve programs without modifying them. Since our purpose
is to make evolution easy, we require that modification be made easy.
