Re: [DUnit-interest] DUnit XE-XE2

[Paul S. <pv...@gm...>]

Hi Dmitry,

Apologies for the delay. Thankyou for your kind words.
I haven't been actively involved with either DUnit or DUnit2 for several
years.

I stopped developing and supporting the DUnit wizard I wrote since the
developers of Delphi added their own wizard to the Delphi IDE.
Your efforts may be better directed at improving the built-in wizard.
However, a cautionary note: I did offer my code and help when I heard a
built-in DUnit wizard was planned for Delphi, but my emails to Borland
developers were ignored.

If you wish to further developer the wizard in the DUnitX codebase we  need
to clarify a couple of things.

1) Do you want to commit your changes to DUnit or DUnit2?
    The two projects are largely API-compatible, but the implementations
differ. There are some new features in the DUnit2 interface.
    There have been a couple of efforts to merge the two codebases, but as
I recall, there were some issues with DUnit2 and the Abbrevia open source
products

2)  The DUnit/DUnit2 codebase is licenced under the GPL Open Source
licence. You cannot add the copyright notice you have proposed: "Copyright
(c) 2013 by Soft 4 POS http://www.soft4pos.com", as that would be a breech
of the GPL licences. All contributions to the codebase must preserve the
original licence.

Cheers, Paul.
