Taking ARMv8 development closed source

Eliot Miranda-2
 

Hi All,

    in response to the Pharo fork of the OpenSmalltalk-VM I've taking the ARMv8 JIT code closed source.  I've given permission to Squeak, Cuis, Newspeak and 3D-ICC to use the code in their VMs.  I have expressly forbidden the code being used in any way in a Pharo VM or any derivative.

Currently the code lives at
MCHttpRepository
location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/ClosedVMMaker'
user: ''
password: ''

and a username and password of squeak should also work.  If you want to be added as a developer email me or mail here.  So far Tim and Clément have joined.  You first have to register on squeak source.com and then it is easy for e to add you as a developer.

Various tasks have to be completed to make this move seamless, such as updating the VMMaker image build scripts.  I'll be attending to these asap.

best, Eliot
