I very possibly would have dialed into your BBS in the late 90s :)

403 had some great local boards, of both the public domain and piratey kind!

Would love to know myself. I haven't seen the term used in 20+ years.

Not enough reading of Hacker News, young grasshopper! (-:

Used several times within the last month alone.

I meant more as an active use-term for software licensing that kiki uses (and in the sense of the OP's question), not in its historical sense that it is used by writers now.

Oh geez -- we went recently through this with our tuxedo, who sadly passed a few years ago. I am glad you'll be able to give her the peace she needs.

The kiki this software is named after, is an extremely rambunctious rotten kitten whom we adopted after our tuxedo passed away.

When you describe my programming and design philosophy as "the personal preferences of a lone-wolf style open source developer, not a universal approach to software design", I consider that the absolute best compliment I could have ever hoped for!

A "universal" approach to software design is the problem I am addressing, not the solution. Coming up with your own philosophy of design and implementation that works for you, and hopefully works for others, is how we get better software.

I'm not arguing with that, I think; I agree with your general sentiment and apparently read many of the same books you read as well. Yet I still believe there's value in a shared understanding of what quality software is, and what ideals to strive for in its conception.

Unfortunately, Edward's project is just a runtime for running AGS games on Mac. The AGS Editor (the topic of the original post) is still Windows-only, and will likely always be due to its deep reliance upon Windows GUI libraries.
