$10 for the plain cd and $14 for the cd with printed label and
printed 'dvd' box. It is not such a bad deal. I might give it
a try but not as a replacement for either OS/2-eCS or OSFree.

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu is an excellent site for store OS/2 files.

One excellent public site is http://hobbes.nmsu.edu
(where one can receive the latest OSFree source [since
May 2003 - IIRC]).

Last time I've seen it on Hobbes, it stayed there for 21 hours.
Certainly, it was the first location where the team's liaisons have
uploaded it, and the first location from which it has been promptly
removed.

Andrew, sorry, but you talkin about osfree TPE which just compilation
of leaked sources of os/2 warp 4 (old kernel). osFree can't be based on
unlegal things. Point. hobbes still contains _legal_ sources of osFree
project, and will contain, I think.

I propose to stop talking about osfree tpe because nobody will support
pirated software. And start talking about real project.

CU!

"Pirated" would be a clumsy word for the osFree TPE ("clandestine"
was the correct term, IMO). After all, it was over 6 months of
development
to be delivered, so I'd refrain from depreciating its value just because
IBM's bureaucracy prevents the source from circulating publicly. And
it works on my laptop. And you probably know who supplied the team
with hibernation subcomponent.

>And start talking about real project.

Unfortunately, the only "real project" of the last weeks seems to be the
TPE. That's why the topic has been raised.

Sorry, but usage of unlegal sources can't be 'real' project. Period. If
IBM will release sources under opensource license -> no any questions.

IIRC - the source code at http://hobbes.nmsu.edu is not
illegal but original source code (IIRC - it does not contain
any illegal source code). IIRC - the 'osfree' in question that
supposedly had 'stolen source code' was at http://wwww.os2.cz
where one can still download it (but I am not sure if it was
stolen).

Just to be picky, the term is 'ellegal' not 'unlegal'.

Illegal not unlegal (I mispelled illegal with too many e's).
