My post in this thread should make it pretty clear why there is no chance of a cooperation:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/scidavis/forums/forum/708155/topic/2993415
In short: Ion Vasilief releases code licensed under the GPL but then tries to prohibit usage of the software in ways the GPL explicitly allows. If you don't do as he wants (i.e. what he considers best for his commercial...

Because it looks like Ion is not interested in having free Windows binary as he sell it so Scidavis is for him a rival. So this is probably the reason why he is so angry that other are using the code from QTIplot although he put it under GPL, so there is no "code stealing".

Forget my previous comment, I just discovered the excannge between knut, tilman and ion (qtiplot)...
but nevertheless, why they work againt each other, then sum up their potentail to one great new free data plot program for several platforms ???.

Thanks for your answer. I completely understand the problem...
But, why do you not use the possibility to cooperate with Qtiplot....because Knut was involved there...

Hi.
First of all, sorry to have disappointed you. We are painfully aware of the fact that we _should_ be more active. We (developers) are as frustrated by the pace of progress as you (users), although (or maybe because) I like to think that the developer/user distinction tends to be blurred in free software projects. I guess this frustration goes some way towards explaining our somewhat...

Hi guys,
on 30 September I was asking for a new release in Scidavis...
Up to now there was nothing new....
I think, to convince the community to use scidavis you should be more active in adding new features (better FFT options like in Igor, better import options, etc.) and to clean bugs as fast as you can with a new release, otherwise I cannot give you any chance against very good programs...

Hi,
that is kind of the wrong question. SciDAVis is free software and you are allowed to do anything with it the GPL allows. And, assuming that with "you" you refer to the main developers, I don't see why we would try to "disallow" this.
The real question is: What do you expect to gain from this? If you just want to practice your requirement engineering skills, I'd say: have fun and go for...

I'm interesting in writing the requirements specifications document for SciDAVis and I would like to know if you allow me to do this.

Oops, I didn't realize that the bug description would be posted as soon as I clicked the attach file button! The file I attached is a project file that causes the crash. I am also copying here the crash report from the Mac.
Thanks very much for any help!

Hi,
I have just been trying out SciDAVis on a Mac, using the prebuilt binaries. Every time that I try to open a saved project, the program crashes. I am using Mac OS X 10.58, and have experienced the problem on both a PPC G5 Power Mac and an Intel MacBook Pro. T.
