Subject: Borland Turbo Vision
Greetings!
I apologize for not responding right away. For convenience, I am
copying you and two other people who wrote to me personally with
Turbo Vision questions.
As you know, it is widely believed that Borland has released Turbo
Vision into the public domain. Regrettably, that is not true. However, this
does not affect the rights or licenses granted to any licensed user of the
Turbo Vision product. Obviously, you may write and compile programs
using the Turbo Vision libraries, and distribute them in object code form
as part of your application. You may also distribute your own Turbo
Vision patches and bug-fixes so long as it is limited to your own code.
However, you may not distribute the Turbo Vision source code without
permission from Borland.
Part of the reason Borland has not released Turbo Vision into the public
domain is Turbo Vision remains an important and valuable feature of
Borland's Turbo Pascal 7.0 for DOS, which is currently available from
Borland. If Borland decides to release Turbo Vision into the public
domain in the future, (or if Borland releases it under different licensing
terms) I will make sure a notice is posted to the Turbo Vision list.
I hope this helps clear up any confusion. I know it is not the answer you
had hoped for, but if you have any additional questions, please feel free
to reply.
