   @mntmn Hey! Is there anyone I can contact about the possibility of a review unit of the MNT Reform? It would be such a perfect fit for @osnews readers!

     @mntmn @thomholwerda @osnews btw, was the source code ever published?
     Would you want to put it on https://github.com/HaikuArchives/ ?

     @pulkomandy @mmu_man @thomholwerda @osnews OK, i found a copy, it has some bizarre made-up license though unfortunately https://github.com/matthiasr/melt/tree/master

     @mntmn @mmu_man @thomholwerda @osnews that doesn't matter, it can join the collection at github.com/haikuarchives where people might try to improve and update it!

     @pulkomandy @mmu_man @thomholwerda @osnews you have my express permission to change it to MIT or BSD or GPLv3, whatever fits best for you

     @mntmn @mmu_man @thomholwerda @osnews I see the license does not allow commercial use (that's fine) or distribution of modified versions (that would explain why it isn't in haikuarchives already)

     Let us know if it should stay that way, or if you want to change it :)

     @mntmn @thomholwerda @osnews wow, I remember very clearly using Melt on the Pentium 120 that I “inherited” from my father, where I also had a Linux install. It took me some time to figure out how to burn CDs and run X11 in Linux (remember the monolithic XFree86?) so I would routinely boot BeOS to burn CDs :blobcheeky:
