Planet MVS Copyright information

The intent of all of the copyright stuff you see plastered all over my site is that I:

Want to make my stuff available for other people to use.

Don't want someone else to take my stuff and claim credit for it.

Please take the software here, use it, modify it, copy parts for other programs but don't claim it for your own. If you copy a subroutine, for example, just put a comment like:

Taken from David Alcock's xxxxxx program.

These web pages and the software here are copyright by David Alcock and are not shareware or in the Public Domain. The software is FREEWARE and in the spirit of the CBT Tape, where I learned to program IBM mainframes, I've made my programs available to the OS/390 (MVS) community.

The PC world has a similiar philosophy with the GNU's Not Unix project. Read their Philosophy page. Take a look at another concept called Open Source.
