This is not a library and it is hand-written 68k assembly so I seriously doubt it has anything to do with that.


You can take the functions out of a library and make of them whatever you want, and you can also convert it from C to assembly (or any other language, for that matter), all of which doesn't make you less oblidged to abide to the original license.

That's why I asked what I asked...

Of course, but since Platon claims it's not a port I have no reason to disbelieve him especially since he cites his references, his implementation method, etc.

Please take your personal "vendetta" with each other to PM. Thanks.

Maybe, but IIRC the "bey" message was on www.platon42.de before when he had some server troubles. My german isn't that good, but the post on www.amiga-news.de doesn't seem to state Platon is quiting, more like explaining the "vendetta".

/edit.. Some post down however do seem to suggest that Platon left.

@all:
There is no "vendetta" between me and platon42 - at least not for me.
I have nothing against him personally and not even against his software.
I wrote him many times in private to try to make clear that his personal accusations against me are not objective.
...with absolutely no result other than more personal accusations.
So be it, I have no problem with that, if he feels better afterwards...

@ _Pab_
Then best to not say anything at all...

Unless, of course you wish to further comment on the TLSFMem O(1) Memory Allocator V1.4.

Kind regards, Yo.

@Yo:
I'm doing so.
I will only answer if new false accusations appear - I already heard something like me being 'the man who killed MorphOS'... (which is also false)

Just curious: given that the Real Time Linux portal lists you as the guy who ported their TLSF library to AmigaOS and given that their implementation is licensed under a dual GPL and LGPL license, have you made a special deal with them so that you'd not release the library under those licenses, or have you just done your work independently from them and they mistakely listed you on their page?


When I wrote the mail to A. Crespo about TLSFMem, I clearly used the word "implemented" not "ported", so at least this wording is his interpretation. I did not use anything from this site except for the scientific paper which describes the algorithm, especially did I not download or use the C implementation on his site as basis for my 68k implementation. Hence, TLSFMem is not under GPL or LGPL. And if it were, I could provide a disassembled binary, which would fully qualify as a source code in the GPL sense.

@_PAB_

Just for the record, Chris did never post about you in this thread before you replied to what DariusBrewka wrote. There was nothing new written here and therefor no need for you to "defend" yourself.

Any further remarks please direct them to PM.

I wanted to make clear, that I am not participating in a 'vendetta', which was stated here.

First of all: I'm not taking sides here, this is just something that occurred to me from reading this discussion.

I admit to not being all that clued up about OSS licensing, but I was under the impression that a license like the GPL applies to the exact code, or verbatim pieces of it? If I read some OSS code and then write the same functionality in a different language, surely that doesn't fall under the original license? As a dumb example, say that I need a sorting algorithm for my leet C64 demo, written in 6510 assembler. I find a really cool sorter in the Linux source code (written in C), so I read that until I understand it, then rewite it in optimized 6510 assembler. Does that really make my C64 demo GPL code? If so, that would mean that the license applies to the algorithms being implemented, not that actual software program. I'm fairly certain that's not the case...

@ Chris Hodges

Get it here: TLSFMem V1.4 (No longer available!)

That's a shame!

I have installed it (1.3) and noticed a 10% (20Mb) more memory recycled with 'avail flush'. It would of been nice to see a whole new memory app instead of all this unhappy ego massaging/character assination thread ...

@ Codesmith

One thing is to rewrite the code, another is to translate it. It's no different than, say, translate the latest Harry Potter book from English into Italian: you'll get sued for doing so, because the Italian translation is a derivative work of the English one.

You can certainly understand how an algorithm functions and reimplement it in another language (bar patents), but you can't "literally" translate from one language to the other without abiding to the original license.

@falemagn:

I see. So as long as it's not a straight port, I don't have to worry about violating the license, right?

@ CodeSmith

No worries, as long as you don't infringe on patents. You've got SW patents in USA to worry about.
