While we are on the subject, the author of
http://www.acornemus.freeserve.co.uk/scumm/scumm.htm
a RISC OS port seemingly won't answer the requests of ender or myself for
source (email address is in a file in the download)

Source for palmos is now avalaible :)

Bye

Cool, thanks, and keep up the great work. :-)

Now, would you be interested in merging this into CVS? Of course you'd 
be added to the author list / credits on the web page etc., and also 
given CVS access.

I haven't yet looked in how far you had to modify sources besides 
adding a new backends / project files, so I don't know how hard it'll 
be in total. Of course the code is based on 0.3.0b so it probably will 
require some work in any case.

Giving it a quick skim it looks like most new files don't specify
license/copyright.

and then there are files that have bits like:
 * Copyright (c) 1999 Palm Computing, Inc. or its subsidiaries.
 * All rights reserved.

and

This source code is released by Sun Microsystems, Inc. to the public
domain.
Please give your acknowledgement in product literature if this code is
used
in your product implementation.

I assume (hope?) all those binary files don't have any legal issues.

"palmstart.cpp" is my own code and it's absolutly not copyright palm
computing
these lines are included automatically when you create a new project in code
warrior

for "Multi-Segment Read Me.txt" it's the same, it's just like a read me file
no copyright at all.

for the Sun Micosystems one, currently this part of code is not used, and
may never be used.

So there is no problem i'll remove this files/parts

Source code released to the public domain can by definition not have
any license issues.  You are free to assign any license you like to
it.  The "acknowledgement" bit is just a request, and not a
restriction on the use of the code (since public domain code _can not_
have _any_ restrictions on its use whatsoever).

Yes I've been informed of the errors of my ways already :)
Apparently the relevant code isn't used anyway.
