hi. i could not find XML::Parse on CPAN it's too unwieldy. so many versions of same name all claiming to be "low level" XML::Parse but i need the unix one for building X11 keyboard depends on intltool-0.33.
So i go and find wget
http://ftp.gnome.org/mirror/CPAN/aut...er.2.30.tar.gz
and i find depends libexpat has been removed. so i go and find
http://sourceforge.net/projects/expa...t-2.0.1.tar.gz
but i see many expat files data are (inside) Microsoft VC++ 6.0 developer files and also claims that Thailand gov computer science research has copy rights on many headers and that Thailand is temporarily yeilding rights to use many files - but that Microsoft has never released rights and there is no licensing (n.i. the one on the VC++6.0 CD i'm about to mention).
I'm absolutely sure VC++ 6.0 files come with a license that say all work done on a computer running MIcrosoft tools are INFACT owned by microsoft unless printed on paper (which is mostly useless for software yet read the license: your C project is NOT yours if any microsoft files are with it or running it.) That microsoft retains the right to transfer your work to their company and claim ownership and has "rights to review" all such software as well.
---------------------------
I didnt know Microsoft and Thailand made libexpat and am confused how it can be in my @ Debian distribution if that is true (i did not install it from the non-free directory !)
is there another peice of software by a different name that is a substitute that doesn't have all rights reserved (allowign copying) by Microsoft and Thailand Government ?
I looked on CPAN but that's mostly Microsoft 8 developers uploading MING files or something.
-------------------
i'm very confused i thought sourceforge was started by RedHat for unix things i'm finding Microsoft projects having the same name as unix ones that are non-free
