Re: [open-cobol-list] Another open source cobol

[Michael]

First let me thank all the people who put their hearts and hard work 
into Open Cobol.

For someone else to take a copy of OC, rename it, and claim it, is 
wrong! I don't think their hearts in the right place at all.
Isn't there something in the GPL that prevents this kinda thing?

Just my $0.02,
Mike.
