Star BeBook, Be Newsletters Available Online
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 25th Mar 2008 22:29 UTC
BeOS & Derivatives I have no idea how I missed it (seriously) but read this: "It's been almost one year since we announced our conversations with ACCESS Co. Ltd. targeted at releasing legacy BeOS related documents, and today last week we were happy to inform the community that this project has finally arrived to a happy conclusion: the BeBook and all the Be Newsletters are now available online. As an emerging open source project, documentation for Haiku is still hard to come by; and while our Documentation Team works on creating Haiku-specific material, the BeBook and the Be Newsletters will provide valuable reference material for all developers, new and experienced alike."

This might sound funny, but I think it's a great idea to just release the docs as reference material only.

In the future, Access may want to sell off the BeOS IP it purchased to another company, and who is to say what that company would wish to do with such property?

This way, Haiku continues on to make a clean room reimplementation of the BeOS with no chance of a law suite.

Am I making sense?
