Did the license to NASM changed?

[MikeHart]

Paul,

can someone release/publish a modified version of NASM without releasing the sources?

I thought that NASM is LesserGPL and a modified version has to ship with the sources.

[Ionic Wind Support Team]

No.  But the license states that you have to provide the sources if requested.  I just happened to not include them in the installation because of the size.  You can have them if you want.

Trying to cause problems again Mike? 

[MikeHart]

No, I thought you have to provide the sources. If wanted to cause you trouble, I would have said nothing and just reported you to the FSF.

Actually I will probably just provide a link to download them separately, The LGPL states it can be in any transmission medium.  Just trying to save the users the headache of a huge sized download, especially for poor Jerry as he is still on dialup in Wisconsin

Frankly its not something I would use or care to get, so I am glad its not in the Distro.
A link would satisfy Mikes question though I would think.

[Zen]

Yes a download link would be much better

No problem. I just have to be patient, sometimes, like when downloading the Ubuntu Eager Eft distro Server and Alternative CD images.... It only took 11 days.... for each image....

11 Days...

Next time you need ubuntu or something of similar size send me a PM and I'll download it and send it on a CD to you. Even sending it from the other side of the world (Croatia) you'll still get it faster than through a dial-up (shudder).

Jerry: Put me on your list of volunteers, along with Barney, to send you large downloads on a CD.

[Zen]

Yep me too if you so wish. Maybe we could download an Image each (if its more than one). I've got 10mb broadband at work so its almost instant

Jerry already knows I'll download and burn stuff to CD for him -- and he lives just up the pike from me. I think he's PROUD of that dialup... gives him something to boast about. (And he has access to high speed close by, anyway.) Jerry, you've been outed. ÂÃ, 

[Jerry Muelver]

Thanks, gang. I really appreciate your concern and intended generosity. Alyce is right -- I can get to a DSL connection a few miles away for those monster downloads when I need them, especially for the CD image stuff. When Ubuntu wants to update some software packages for 10 or 15 meg, I simply let it run when I go to bed. Heck, if this stuff was fast and easy, every kid on the block would be getting into it! .... Um.... Wait a minute. That's just what's happening, isn't it?
