During the last years, there have been many people asking me, if they could have a copy. I always refused to give a copy to anyone. I can absolutely understand Bruce. It's his own, private thing, he only makes it for himself. >Anyway, Bruce suggested in another post to get a copy of Shredder, and no >doubt a new version will be forthcoming! > >Speaking of software licenses... could people please remove their restriction >on publishing computer vs. computer testing results? I hate overly-restrictive >licenses... and I don't enter into license agreements that I don't like. Hint. As far as I know, this restriction does not exist for the full-version of Shredder, only for the MCS-engine. Hint. ;-) Heiko.
