Whether headers are added or not, my point was simply that a translator shouldn't put himself into the header as the programmer. It's a little discourteous to the actual programmer (although most devs won't actually care), and it creates a false piece of information. Consider the following scenario: foo: Hi. one of the buttons is sending the wrong message in the German dialog. Can you fix it please bar: Sorry, I'm not a programmer foo: But it has your name as the programmer in the header... Perhaps if translators want to be named in resource files, and we feel a need to put headers in all our resource files too (which I think is a bit overkill, they should be kept in the main code only) we could include an extra line for TRANSLATOR: Anyway, it wasn't my intention to drag this through ros-dev. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Dolding [mailto:oiaohm@bluebottle.com] Sent: 27 June 2006 14:27 To: ReactOS Development List Subject: Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [ion] 22649: - Lesson One: Don't revert commits b ecause your eyes are inventing the word "copyright". I tried really hard, I really did, but I could not find even the word "copy", much less "copy right". - Lesson Two: What do yo Sorry to stick my nose in here. Two critical points have been missed. Fine in this case since the code was declare public domain. Other cases it will not be fine. The new alterations started under a new copyright. Can override public domain. If it was a GPL licence even a BSD licence how can you say it up the creek without a paddle. If a document was created by X person then altered by Y. X persons copyright still stands until what time it becomes public domain. Even that Y holds copyright on the alterations so is also allowed a credit mark under the most country's. Personally think both have stuffed up minorly. Note strange I could not find the files in the Reactos tree. Its also a fault I find with MSVS it does not licence tag the .rc files. It would make job simpler. If there is no simpler code as all between the .rc files it would be fine. I totally don't expect that. The lines I would normally add are. /* From project Solitaire That was under license: Freeware, permission to use under Public Domain based on <filename> By Daniel "EmuandCo" Reimer (reimer.daniel(a)freenet.de) New content licensed under <GPL Reactos as per above> Translation/Alterations by <list people here><< People to track down to prove that the license change was done under permitted grounds ie new content. */ Now the file has two licences ie GPL alterations and Public domain content. If person takes the new content they are stuffed. But a person could return it to public domain if the remove the content we have altered. The other option is just to over license it since its public domain and it part of a new work. Its still a good idea to leave a marker in case of future audits. If someone comes along and said hey your file looks like ours. And we have markers can quickly say hey did you acquire that file from there. Yes I know its large. It gets more complex with BSD and GPL. Its all about tracking. GPL master copyrighter stays. No option to relicense is given. Alteration by the Reactos team or author marks is all that could be added. BSD can be overlicened as long as the old BSD header with first copyright holder stays and the new license is not incomparable with BSD. Playing with these things can turn into breach of copyright very quickly.

This is still James' code, it's just been moved out of sol.rc and into a separate file. My point was, if someone translated my code and named themselves as the programmer (ok, not using the word copyright) it would p!ss me off a little bit. I wasn't having a go at anyone, my commit message was entirely civil and just correcting something which seemed wrong to me. God only knows why you've taken offence, or needed to revert to belittling.

Might be worth dropping into the 0.3 branch though as a quick fix if the real issue isn't solved before RC2. Ged.

by Ged Murphy

IMO, this change is wrong and should be reverted. The start menu should be searching in %systemroot% as well as %systemroot%/system32. We used to do this, and there is a regression somewhere.

WinFS is dead, like Cairo

by Klemens Friedl

WinFS is (more or less) dead, it has been announced on their official web blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/winfs/archive/2006/06/23/644706.aspx Some useful parts go to SQL Server development branch. Reminds me of Cairo (early 90-ties), MSFT never achived that task. Only some parts were integrated as ActiveDirectory in Win2k and improved OLE in Win 9x/NT. The Vista search seems to be very same technology as it has been shipped with WinNT 5.0+ (but deactivated by default). Just a new frontend has been added which looks more confusing than the WinXP variant. The channel9 videos featuring WinFS looks promising, although I heard (from beta1 testers) the technology was not .
