== reaching 100th page ==
If you have a look at [[Special:Statistics]], we now have 99 pages! Great! Without all your effort, this would not be the case. Who is going to create the 100th page?

I'm not quite sure life-long is long enough. It seems a term of about 70 years post-mortem with possible extension is the standard these days. ;-)= General ConTeXt Questions =
Hi! What's the license of ConTexT? It's This is not readily apparent from the wiki or from place to ask general questions about ConTeXt. If you have a longer question, the company web best thing to do with it is create a new page. (see [[UserHelp:BBB|BBBEditing]] 15:49, 6 Nov 2004 (CETfor how to do that): Hellowith a description of the problem, and put the license of ConTeXt is GPL (GNU General Public Licence). It is stated special text <code><nowiki>{{howto}}</nowiki></code> in mreadme.pdf it, which will cause it to be listed on the [[UserCategory:Patrick Gundlach|pgHow to]]:: Actually, it says "in page. If you have a short question that is appropriate for the spirit of the GNU general public license". This made me suspiciuos[[FAQ]], since if you can add it were available under GPLthere, then why not say so plainlyand leave the answer blank. The sentence as written could imply If you have a question that it's not formally GPLyou wish to discuss, but it's "in the spirit", i.e. inspired by GPL. Also, I couldn't find best place for that is the license text in the distribution. Anyway, that's a suggestion for improvement.

:::: Well, i can understand the 'spirit' of those gnu licences, but the gory details are beyond me, so that's why i've written down things my way; it permits me to add my own spirit, which boils down to: use it any way you want, as long as you don't mess around with the files in a way that it backfires on me or users.--[[User:Hagen|Hans]] 17:38, 9 Nov 2004 (CET)= History =
Actually* On July 25, 2020, the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NoTitle NoTitle] wiki extension was installed.* Since July 1, 2020, I believe this wiki and [http://live.contextgarden.net live.cg.net] and [http://source.contextgarden.net source.cg.net] are all using ConTeXt should be under some sort of Artistic License or even the LaTeX license`version: 2020.06. The GPL is not particularly suited 30 17:30 (In factLMTX)`. * Since May 28, I believe that it is not suited for most software that 2020, we are running on a new mediawiki core, version 1.34.1.*is* released under it)The '''[http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2019 13th ConTeXt Meeting]''' took place in Bassenge-Boirs, Belgium on September 16–21, 2019.
The problem: Suppose H.Dumb changes == just a few core macros in syst-gen.tex and redistributes this new context distro. It turns out that there is a bug in the macros by Dumb that typo (saywhich I cannot fix myself) makes TeX fail on documents that contain more that 100 pages. He redirects users to Pragma-ADE for ConTeXt support because he doesnt want to do be bothered with it. Therefore, the support calls will appear on ntg-context, and ConTeXt as a whole gets bad publicity. ==
Under GPL, there is no way to stop H.Dumb from doing what he is doing. Even worse'russian' instead of 'Russian' --[[User: the GPL does not even *allow* an additional clause that says that H. Dumb cannot do this sort of thing. The implication is Ousia|Pablo Rodríguez]] (in my opinion[[User talk:Ousia|talk]]) that you should *not ever* release anything under GPL that you 17:50, 29 June 2022 (personallyCEST) feel responsible for or are attached to.  :fixed, thanks [[User:Taco|Taco]]([[User talk:Taco|talk]]) 08:40, 30 June 2022 (CEST)
