Nomination for Pricelessware?

[Marten Kemp]

Can things like IBM's ObjREXX or NetREXX language
interpreters be nominated for inclusion?
Either can be downloaded from ibm.com.

A) CAN BE NOMINATED IF FREEWARE

Is ObjRexx freeware? Well it seems IBM turned ObjRexx
opensourece recently, see
<http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/obj-rexx/opensource.html>

Available from/read more at:
Open Object Rexx <http://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/>
Open Object Rexx <http://www.oorexx.org/>

Any open source version can be nomitated for sure.

Including:
Regina Rexx <http://regina-rexx.sourceforge.net/>

Is NetRexx free as well? Have not digged into it, but at least I did
not see any "how to buy" links on
<http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/netrexx/>


B) WHEN CAN IT BE NOMINATED?

The nomination process for the 2006 vote does not start just yet. Have
a look at last years timetable and procedures for a general idea,
see: <http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2005/2005PL-Procedures.php>
