I am using and have significantly added to the 'Scatter' package added by Copyright (C) 2006-2007, Andrei-Catalin. I am a little concerned about the copyright of work added in the Bazaar and distributed with the base package. By adding a copyright notice, user's are effectively locked out from using the code without express permission from the copyright holder. What is the 'offical' position of the Ultimate developer community? By the way, most of my current experiences with U++ have been extremely positive. U++ NTL objects are very fast and effective for scientific programming purposes (my benchmarks show x4 speed improvement over normal C++ STL objects). I will shortly be adding some scientific code to the forum but need to address this copyright issue first...

Personally I think that the code in Bazaar needs to have the same license as Upp, or there isn't much point. Certainly all of my submissions are under this assumption.

I think just the same. Also in my case all the Bazaar submissions and code posted in the forum have the same Upp license.

Hello all

My opinion is that bazaar:
- is like a kindergarten for new packages for Upp and
- a repository for useful packages that for any reasons would not have to be in the main Upp (like libraries with small audience)

And always open to Upp people use and improvements, not like an store where you can not change the items and you have to pay for them.

Best regards

I know that the number of people this affects is probably pretty small, but I think there should be a sticky at the top of the forum that clarifies this.

All it really needs to say is that all code posted in Bazaar is under the Upp license, and that by posting code you are accepting this condition. Just to make it clear.

Maybe we should add some COPYING file into all Bazaar stuff (similar/same as in other packages).

Hello all

If there is no opinion against it I will add a sentence in Bazaar page:

"All packages and code in Bazaar are under BSD license"
