Talk:Kids Programming Language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to the official website, it's Kid's Programming Language not Kids Programming Language. But I'd like to know who this kid is. I'd assumed it was the inventor of the language, but according to this, he has kids of his own, so it seems unlikely. -- Smjg 11:51, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
- This is obviously a grammatical error on KPL's part. The correct name would have been Kids' Programming Language, unless, as you say, there's someone named Kid to whom KPL is dedicated (seems very unlikely). I don't know if we should change the article name or not :-) Haakon 11:54, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License?
Could someone on Windows please download the installer and put up what kind of license this is distributed under? I can't find a license anywhere on their website, so I presume it's freeware under some kind of EULA, but I can't confirm that on a Mac. --Iluvcapra 06:48, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Between the next two horizontal lines is a fragment of the Licence Agreement for KPL v 2.0 BETA as of Monday, June 26, 2006 (emphasis added):
You are allowed to use KPL v 2.0 for personal, educational or other non-commercial purposes. Anything you create using KPL v 2.0 is license-free.
Carefully read the following terms and conditions before using KPL v 2.0. Unless you have a different EULA signed by Morrison Schwartz, Inc., your use of KPL v 2.0 indicates your acceptance of this EULA and warranty.
[edit] Advertisment-y
Is it just me or does this article sound very pro-KPL? For example statements such as: "have taken KPL from those early stages to a globally successful product in less than a year" seem to be making unverifiable claims that advertisers would use. - DNewhall 21:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- That point crossed my mind too - looks like the initial article was lifted from an advertising brochure somewhere... sheridan 03:52, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think I saw something like a criticism section pointing out that it is not platoform independent some time ago, but that seems to be gone now? I also did not find it in the history... 88.76.141.240 17:33, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
