Hi FPC & Lazarus lists,

The current wiki page has this in the footer:
"Content is available under ."

Perhaps it's a good idea to modify the licenses page to include a reference to wiki contributions being public domain/freely usable, e.g. [1]: "== Licensing/copyright of Wiki articles ==
As there is no specific license indicated on the wiki, all contributions are assumed to be public domain/freely usable.
Of course, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights moral rights] of the submissions remain with the submitters.

By submitting contributions to the wiki the submitter guarantees that the submission is free to use/public domain (i.e. not copyrighted by a third party)."

This will help make it explicit that contributions can be shared and need to be free of third-party copyright.

The footer could then perhaps point to that page (or a static/access controlled page with similar content).

Comments?

While on the subject of Wikis, perhaps somebody would update http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Pascal#Targets to include MIPS and 68K, and remove PPC Mac OS Classic which no longer builds.

As for platforms...

I remember testing the m68k build on my Atari ST/TT. I remember it being discontinued after that though, so I suppose it's been re-resurrected, probably the TOS/GEM support is dead though.

Thank you,
Noah Silva

I did not yet test the Atari port. Also the m68k code generator is not yet stable enough again and at least for the next few months it does not look like I'll work on it that much (university and such...). But I nevertheless plan to continue the work I have started, since I have a little Coldfire board next to me which wants to be used :)

Regards,
Sven
