The key point here being "most people's".

To download 900MB would take 3 hours here. At best.

For the record: I won't even attempt to download anything larger than 150MB (and get increasingly angry with Apple for their security updates getting ever longer, but I disgress), because IT WON'T DOWNLOAD, EVER, with my current internet connection.

"wget -c". Unless it's some browser/JS-based download service such as pox.net box.net.

For the same reason my absolute upload limit, is 10MB. I won't even attempt to upload anything bigger, because the stress of going through 95 per cent of the upload, then [being disconnected] and me having to start all over again from zero is just too nerve-wrecking.

If you have shell access on the destination box, I suggest use of rsync to resume an upload.

[…] Had my assumption about the CC-3 license been correct, I would have been the one who was treated in bad faith if asked to ask for allowance for something granted by the C-3 license. My error was not to know that this license - according to Ahruman's interpretation, at least - does not cover oxps.

There's no interpretation about it: it definitely doesn't.

I repeat about buzzer.oxp: LGPL v2.1 or later applies. I regard this licence as also applying to copies downloaded prior to the addition of licence details (though it would be better to re-download it so that you have a properly-licensed copy).

Yuck, I took a break from Oolite and came back to see this. ):

There are no winners here. Everybody has lost.

I really love this remake of a game that I played as a kid. And I may be speaking out of the brashness of youth (I'm 21 ), but this has definitely made Oolite poorer.

Well, I'm 30 and I agree - quite shocked by this - first time back here in nearly 4 months... ...without wishing to sound flippant, hope this will just be a blip - albeit a significant one.

Don't really feel qualified to comment on technical/moral aspects of this matter.

Compared to many other forums, I've found this a very friendly, unintimidating place to chat. Everything about this project seems to have been very positive, on the face of it - guess I missed what was brewing under the surface. hope it's just confined to the OE matter.

If you'll notice, Overmage (not picking on you, boss... I promise) resurrected this thread kinda. Prior to him, last post was Nov. 12th. So yeah, it's calmed down. Things are / have returned to normal - The friendliest forums this side of Reidquat.

OK! good things are back to normal, then;-). - Sorry - should have kept an eye on dates pf these posts.

Every family has the occasional spat. The trick is to get over it and move on!

Blow it up to poster size and use it to scare the neighbour's cat off your garden?

So I'm requesting to close this topic then .-)

I agree with Svengali. This topic has essentially ended long ago and there is no point continuing it. Closed.
