Talk:Tiny BASIC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] The virtues(?) of SW copyright

A recent contribution to the article reads as follows:  "Tiny BASIC is a set of computer tools that started the software writing (programming) business. Any software written in Tiny basic language could be copyrighted. Books were written that contained programs that are still in use today because the electronic means used to execute,(run) those programs hasn't changed at all. Few if any programmers actually copyrighted their software in those days but those that did were true visionaries considering the fact that computers are a large part of life today."

I must admit I'm a little unsure as to whether the above passage actually represents a properly encyclopedic, NPOV, piece of information. Please comment, folks. --Wernher 11:41, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The article currently references the CLI when refering to virtual machiens. To me this seems to specific as the CLI is in no way related to TInyBASIC. To reference the CLI implies that the article should also be referencing the JVM, Parrot, etc -- all would be equally valid... --Olliej 05:35, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
