The status of C

[Keith Thompson]

To be fair, the owners can license it as they please. I believe M.
Navia bought rights, which is why his lcc-win32 is based on a
considerably earlier lcc. Other areas, such as the IDE, are
entirely his. I only put this here because I don't like leaving an
impression of software theft by M. Navia, which he has not done.

You're right, I thoughtlessly left an impression that I shouldn't
have. The fact that the lcc home page includes a link to the
lcc-win32 page strongly implies that there's no problem as far as the
lcc folks are concerned. My apologies.

If you're referring to lcc,
<http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/lcc/>, it appears to be free,
<http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/lcc/pkg/CPYRIGHT>.

(Discussions about how the lcc license applies to selling copies of
lcc-win32 should probably take place in comp.compilers.lcc.)

lcc is free, I am speaking about the port of lcc-win32's IDE to
Linux

I didn't know there was one. Can you provide a pointer?

Incidentally, the previous poster asked about Linux, not Unix. Unless
the Linux port also works on Solaris, AIX, FreeBSD, et al, it would
have been worth mentioning that it's Linux-specific.

Cross-posted, and followups directed to, comp.compilers.lcc, where
this entire subthread should have gone in the first place.

Well you can fix that very easily if you buy the Unix version...

Give me one good reason why anybody should give money to a spammer.

Anybody could be of the opinion that size matters ;-P
