[Oberon] License Question from Walter Gallegos

[Walter Gallegos]

Hello Markus,
Yes, I read your post before but as still without answer I posted a similar question again.
We have some potential project for ProjectOberon; not for Paul Reeds Verilog because I'm rewriting RISC 5 in VHDL starting from project documentation.
Even having a very high comercial risk compared with others available options I have some interest in ProjectOberon, so as you say have a clear license is escencial.

Asunto: License Question from Walter Gallegos

Hello Walter,

i have asked this question  in Volume 120 issue 5, May 5th, 2014 of this 
e-mail list.
Unfortunately, we have got never an answer from one of the copyright 
holders.

I will city my own question once again, maybe somebody may forward it to 
the responsible persons:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUT first i think its important to clarify the license question. For me
its still not clear what the license for Wirths and Gutknechts Oberon
is. The same story with Paul Reeds Verilog code.
Wirth said, as far as i understood, its free. But what is free?
Free to copy, free to use in a non commercial project, free to change
it.....
So maybe Wirth, Gutknecht and Reed should give a statement if their code
is free under the MIT license or GPL or any other common model.
I would prefer MIT but GPL would be ok for me too.
