Sure, we shall not expect anyone work on full time but at least keeping it minimally active to release updates after some months.
Although sometimes is impossible or too few time for something very technical, hard or at least time consuming.

Maybe we have the luck of someone new pick again to give new progress. We have to be patient for the Nspire stuff.

Do we really have to make sure it's impossible to put the CAS OS on a non-CAS?  To me, it sounds like this is the only reason Ndless 2.0 isn't out, and with TI's reaction I think Ndless 2.0 is the perfect response. :)

Better not let put CAS OS into non-CAS to avoid trouble. I think is ok and I would enjoy to have CAS applications to non-CAS and a TI-84+SE emulator to CAS.

There could be other reasons like stability issues, lack of testing...

I seriously doubt the font has ever been monospaced. I might be wrong, though, seeing as I don't own an Nspire. :P

Correct. :(

They do, watch the SVN trunk :)

IMO, we're less bound to such moral considerations now that TI attacked Ndless twice... it would be a pretty powerful retaliation against TI. But yeah, TI would sue the trouble-makers to death.

Nope, it is not. Galandros pointed one of the two reasons.

Wait, I am still confused, does the current ndless allow putting a cas onto a non-cas? If so, I cant see how :/

Anyway... up to now, we've been avoiding putting CAS stuff into non-CAS calculators (runos developped but not released, 68k emulator developped but not released...).

So we've been very nice with TI.


Seeing what we are getting from TI despite that (lawyers letters, evil downgrade protections, censored facebook comments, disabled facebook accounts...) I would say "let's not care anymore!".

Anyway, they'll keep striking at us, whatever we do.

Not as is, but yes if you have the runos program, which has never been distributed.

The downgrade has just one good justification: avoid downgrade to OSes with bugs, especially the shut down one. But if they did for this reason, they wouldn't disable to OSes past that bug. The coincidence of disable on OS versions that Ndless support is not ignorable.

Nspire hacking seems much more troublesome situation in legal aspect to involved people than the signing keys to z80 calculators.

So we've been very nice with TI.

I have a question about RunOS, first of all, in its current form, is it legal, second, I have been reading that it would be illegal to put a CAS OS on the regular blue Nspire, but would this be illegal if I owned both a regular Nspire and a Nspire CAS?  Basically, I would be choosing the hardware I want to run the OS on.

We should just make our own CAS. It's perfectly legal. TI can't do anything against that.
