Hi,
Yea I think your correct...... here is his post... http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2002/04/0194.html
And our last exchange: Zsolt http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/12/0462.html
And Patrik Stridvall's reply http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/12/0461.html
To quote Patrick
"Correct, it didn't support SafeDisc 2. However I think that at least part of it was accepted. Anyway the reason that some part was not not accepted was not DMCA related."
Okay.... If its not the DCMA then why has this code not been accepted??
In Laurent Pincharts words........
"safedisc-dmca.diff contains the code which *might* infringe the DMCA. In my opinion it doesn't, but I'm not a lawyer."
So......
Alexandre, is there any chance of this code *ever* being excepted into the wine tree? If not what would need to be done for exceptence to take place?
If this code has a "snowballs chance in hell" of ever being excepted into the tree then "please" let me and the others here know....
Or better yet...... if Jer, has a lawyer who is setting around looking at his secretaries back end.. He could ask him what his thoughts on this would be, and this whole discussion could come to a....... well lets only hope a happy end......
Please reply...... As I hate spam but i'm not over spamming to get a reply ;)
