Any ideas of shipment of the goodies ?

by shirish

Hi all, There was an e-mail on 6th of July telling about shipment of the goodies but nothing after that. Does anybody know when the shipments are going to be scheduled ? There's roughly 2 months left (just a day short) to the event. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17

The license for Scratch is http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Scratch_License/License - it looks similar to the BSD license. I suspect that the clause requiring attribution in publishing would make the Scratch license incompatible with the GPL, but not necessarily non-free; however IANAL and the SFD discuss list is not the place for that conversation. There is also the Scratch source code license at http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Source_Code which has additional stipulations. > On the about-page is mentioned, that Microsoft, Intel and other closed > source companies are involved with the project. There is no such thing as a "closed source company". There is only free and proprietary software. Both Intel and Microsoft have produced free software - Intel is a contributor to the Linux kernel, for example. Dave -- Dave Page <grimoire(a)cultofperf.org.uk> Jabber: grimoire(a)jabber.earth.li

And that's just scratching the surface. Most have on-line learning materials that are just a web search away. What age range do your students fall into?
