[RESOLVED] Obtain Form Size in Millimeters

Wrong. Olaf taked about that we need to study more the many licenses that there are there...

Public domain equivalent license.

Well, you can use CC0 license if you want (link to license).

I linked to the OSI page for a reason. CC0 and PDE licenses are not open-source licenses.

The Wikipedia page you shared explains it right there on the page.

Open-source is about more than just "freely available code".

Then, are we going to change the mind of all the community (because we want bugs reports, according to you)? Is that possible? Is it a realistic goal?

No, it probably isn't realistic, which is why so many of us end up walking away from the community. It makes me sad, but I don't disagree with you.

Or the other option is to say: OK, I'll give a sh*t about attribution, I want this community to go ahead and develop all that is needed.

No other community has made this attitude work. Why would VB6 be different? I think twenty years of failed open-source efforts show that this attitude doesn't lead to anything successful.

I really mean this, genuinely: please show me a successful "free software" project that works without open-source licenses. I have searched, and I don't know of any. I think open-source systems were invented for a reason. They have given us countless incredible pieces of software.

Can the "attribution doesn't matter" crowd say the same?
