Not that this applies to the AIML specification.

I.e. distribute it under any licence you wish. <br><br>That said, I am no Intellectual Property lawyer and I can give you no <br>guarantees on this. The concept of AIML is protected under the GPL, which <br>you would be able to recognize in a Help file and by supplying a copy of the <br>GNU Public Licence.

The scientist and MIT professor emeritus was known for <br>his critical position towards the impact of information technology to <br>society. <br>Born in Berlin to Jewish parents, Weizenbaum had emigrated in 1936 to the <br>United States. After having contributed to the development of the first <br>analog computers and participating in the design of the first digital <br>computers for banking applications, Weizenbaum in 1963 took a position at <br>the Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT); from 1970 he was <br>professor for computer science. Among his major achievements were studies <br>over the SLIP programming language and research on basic software <br>technologies which today are in widespread use such as garbage collection <br>algorithms. <br><br>One of his most influential works was the development of the natural <br>language processor ELIZA which is said to be one of the early <br>breakthroughs for Artificial Intelligence. In this context, he developed a <br>program simulating a conversation between a physician and a patient. <br><br>Shocked over the fact that many test series participants were unable to <br>determine they in fact were communicating with a computer and openly <br>divulged most intimate details of their life, Weizenbaum developed a more <br>critical and reserved posture towards information technologies and turned <br>into an inconvenient admonisher. He co-founded the Computer Professionals <br>for Social Responsibility group. Until his death, he also was Chairman of <br>the Scientific Institute of Electronic Business in Berlin. <br><br>In 1996, Weizenbaum moved to Berlin. On March 5, he died in consequence of <br>apoplexy. <br><br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________ <br>This is the alicebot-general mailing list <br>Reply to <a href="http://www.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=15905686&i=0" target="_top" rel="nofollow">alicebot-general@...</a> <br>Unsubscribe and change preferences at <a href="http://list.alicebot.org/mailman/listinfo/alicebot-general" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://list.alicebot.org/mailman/listinfo/alicebot-general</a><br>Learn netiquette at <a href="http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html</a><br>Learn to read at <a href="http://www.literacy.org/" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.literacy.org/</a><br><p>From forum: <a href="http://www.nabble.com/Alicebot-General-f14516.html" embed="fixTarget[14516]" target="_top" >Alicebot General</a></p> tag:www.nabble.com,2006:post-15778799 Re: Jabber capable bots. 2008-03-01T09:31:38Z 2008-03-01T09:31:38Z Simon Tennant rea wrote: <br>> Simon: <br>> <br>> My research group has been playing around with Program D's implementations: <br><br>How do you find it?
