Clean up #1

Closed holgero closed 11 years ago

holgero commented 11 years ago

Hi,

I removed much clutter, backup files and so. I also started with the removal of stuff that isn't needed for slicing (such as the Printer interface and the Extruder interface: we will ever need only the G-Code implementation of those interfaces).

My intention is to make my clone a pure and simple slicer alternative in java. (But not an alternative for pronterface).

Best regards, Holger.

Please have a look especially at commit dbbba1cbb , I removed some files that contained a license which would forbid commercial use of this software. As you use this software in your documentation, this may qualify as commercial use. So you probably want to apply this specific commit in any case.

Hi,

Many thanks for that. Surely if we give the software away and also give away the documentation, both free, then it cannot be commercial, even if it supports other subsequent commercial activity? The analogy I would see would be a free-for-non-commercial use compiler, which was used to compile some free software to be given away. If some people then use that compiled software downstream to make money, then that doesn't invalidate the original free give-away.

IANAL either, though...

I'll incorporate your changes. So thanks again.

Best wishes

Adrian

Hi, I would like to close this pull request, as I made a mistake with how I created it (it is directly from the master branch of my fork, so I cannot use that any longer).

If you are interested in pulling something, please do let me know. I might even prepare a branch for you to pull that doesn't involve that many changes at once, in case you prefer that.

Best regards, Holger.
