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

[David Essex]

I found the SF [2] site by accident, while searching SF for COBOL projects.

I became aware that parts of COBOL-IT [1] are derived from some version
OC when I downloaded the documentation from the SF site.

What I was trying to point out is that the official COBOL-IT web site
does not have a link (unless I missed it) to the SF site, and vice versa.

Which versions did you compare ?
The SF (version '1.2.6'), email (version '1.2.9' ?) or the one which
came with the product purchase (required to be GPL/LGPL compliant).
