MikeLevin:
I now plan on distributing a copy of the source code to the binaries once I round them up. I have no problem with that. If it were put that way, I wouldn't have criticized the vibe here.
It's repeatedly telling me I'm breaking the rules of this section when I didn't even post here. I posted in another section that didn't have such rules, and it was transferred here.
It was also suggested I'd have to bloat the heck out of a 15MB file with all that source code or not be in license compliance. Who could ever do an embedded system?
When I said I'd put the source code download link main download, I just kept getting sent links as if to say that's still a violation, when its clearly compliant.
MikeLevin:
Althalus, you nailed it. Refinement of the beta will be HEAVY on documentation, a better initial "recipe" and a smoother transition of the README.txt into more docs accessible from the less command on another file after an SSH login to the VM from host, and then to more docs accessible over http://localhost:8080 and so on. Thanks for the feedback.

I think you are choosing your words pooly here, Sir. I don't believe anyone has made such a request. The suggestion is to have a download site where they download the fruits of your labour and downloads for the source code.
cheers

The reason I moved this thread is because you posted an announcement for a repackaged Microcore, which means
it is no longer a Tinycore Linux product, but a MikeLevin product (Levinux ), which qualifies it as a respin.
As far as breaking rules is concerned, the only rule you broke was not making the sources available for download, and
that's not just a rule of this forum, but of the GPL which Microcore is licensed under. It applies because you offer your
respin to others, regardless of whether you ever posted on any of the Tinycore sub-forums.

Sorry, that's the way it came off: "Where's the source code, where's the source code, link, link, link..." I marked it clearly as beta, and collecting the source from these binaries and putting it on a download site is now clearly one of the things I need to do to refine the beta. And the README that was already there really does start to address this. It just came off as kicking.
The handling of me here was less than an inviting experience—hardly any explanation of the issue and absolutely no acknowledgement that my proposed solution of side-by-side download links would satisfy the GPL2.
