No compatibility with windows. Windows is a legacy platform and there is no need to support it. Windows users should migrate to Linux to reduce migration costs in the future.\n2. No compatibility with other UNIX systems curses implementations. See (1) for the reason.\n3. No patches will be accepted which compilcate the code to provide compatibility with anything but ncurses.\n4. BSD systems are fine and when they use ncurses they should be able to use this product. Same goes for legacy UNIX systems.\n5. Better try to provide ncurses on the target platform instead of sending me a patch for reduced functionality - it will not be accepted. You may fork at will (but I guess you already know that...).\n6. LGPL is the license to enable other types of licenses to run on top of this one.\n7. I prefer if you write free source on top of this library but I don't twist your hand...:)\n8. Every function in ncurses will be exposed.\n9. No hight level abstraction will be provided. It's your or other peoples goal to do that.\n10. Actually, I myself am writing several projects that provide a higher level interface to this on top of this project, but that is a different tale.\n\n\t\t\tMark Veltzer, 2008\n\t\t\tmark.veltzer@gmail.com\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fveltzer%2Fjncurses","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fveltzer%2Fjncurses","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fveltzer%2Fjncurses/lists"}
