No, harii4

I mean something like

http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=64&p=13014327

On the forum server is already a database, which we as users have no access to

The well=minded search is just google's search engine pointed to murga-linux/puppy

IF we could have user selected data tags in the existing database, a list of each example of key words/numbers/tags would be built, with results listed alphabetically/as user request and by category defined by those tags

An example, maybe, is sphinx, as used by craig's list with over 2 million hits a day

also, see the quick forum jump drop-down box here

See the difference/s?

The last 3 posts are totally off topic. Is it any wonder this forum is difficult to find things in sometimes!

Since no one more knowledgeable than I responded to Starhawks last question I will add my thoughts.

Usage of the LGPL, rather than GPL, is more for libraries which you are allowing to be attached to proprietary software.

In any event you cannot take GPL software, amend it and then release the amendment as LGPL as far as I am aware. Amended GPL software must be released under the same licence terms.

Yes - the posts were off-topic, but not importantly so, and still in the spirit of 'spreading Puppy around', as there are 3 pages discussing, essentially legal points, yet without the legal definitions being either quoted or highlighted, which can only serve to confuse, as the posts are no more than opinion, legally speaking, which again are of no use to the OP, and if he is seriously interested in finding the right info, I can only suggest reading here, as a start, or consulting a FOSS legal adviser, for certainty

Here is an example of a copyright violation, which is badly affecting the originator, and those who've enjoyed his product, due to misunderstandings about copyright holder's rights

Licensing IS, after all, a copyright/legal issue!

Selling hardware isn't, even if it includes someone else's licensed open-source software, provided the originator's license terms are included, as noted in Barry's pm to me, in reply to my question about people selling Puppy on ebay!

I think Barry would, by now, have a good understanding of his license

As to derivatives/modifications to, or of Puppy, these are the responsibility of the coder/modifier
