Good. Just examined 0.085g3's readme: there's a nice list of changes. Now try to find one which is 1) not obvious 2) implemented in H1.03 in exactly the same way.

Sure.

The very thing I'm talking about.
Prima wrote:Are you sure?
Well, by no one I meant no one of those who'd spent some time digging into the issue

It's pretty clear from JM's post that he meant "Houdini is based on a public domain Robbo" to be a distinct possibility.

Think about what you've just written

Every program contains public domain code.

And here comes a link to some idle talk about GPL with no mention of either Houdini or Robbo.
Prima wrote:or did you conveniently leave-out this part of Julien's quote
I did a very simple thing. I opened the thread on CCC and scanned the posts searching for a suitable one. Didn't look for other JM's posts.
Prima wrote:prefers to lie about NOT using GPL or EVEN the Public Domain codes
Do you really cry out loud every time someone lies to you? In case you haven't noticed, lying is perfectly legal
Prima wrote:"Houdini is original"
That's actually not a lie. Just twisting the truth. Not a lie because the meaning of the word "original" is pretty vague.
Prima wrote:As to why you defend this proven crook and a liar
You're moving offtopic involving RH's actions when they do not matter. Whatever he says doesn't affect Houdini's legality at all. And I didn't say that Houdini wasn't based on GPL Robbo. I simply pointed out the absence of proof.
