I do very frank with you. I have read the Software License and is a licensed Proritaria, ie EditShare Company owns the code. Which I find it very disappointing when we talk about was going to release the code. I do not deny that the name and logos of either the Company Software. As Mozilla does with Firefox, but I could not have ACCESS to the code to start the respective amendments to the operating system Ubuntu.

I have had to download the version of Windows without obtaining the Code, what should I do to have access to this?

Voy hacer muy franco con ustedes. He leido la licencia del Software y es una licencia Proritaria, es decir que la Empresa EditShare es la dueña del codigo. Cosa que se me hace muy decepcionante, cuand hablaron de hiba a liberar el codigo. No niego que el Nombre y logos del Software sea de la Empresa. Como hace Mozilla con firefox, sin embargo no he podido tener aceso al codigo para comenzar la respectivas modificaciones al sistema operativo Ubuntu.

Me ha tocado descargar la version de Windows sin obtener el Codigo, que debo hacer para tener acceso al este?

Hi Belemus

1) A Linux version is not yet available for Lightworks.
2) If you are referring to the computer number that is requested during installation then you can choose any number between those that are offered. There are no other codes that are required.

If you are referring to the programming code then one of the Editshare guys will have to respond.

I suspect it won't be available until the official Open Source release date.

The roadmap should make this clear. The source will not be available until the software is declared to be Open Source. It is not currently at that stage, so Devine1 is quite correct.

Hola and welcome to the forum. The first rule of forums is to search before posting.

If you search the forum you will see the forum admin and the moderators have explained in a number of threads why the source code is not yet available. See for example this post.



I would add that Lightworks is 20 year old Windows software owned by different companies during this time. Its current owners, EditShare, decided to make it open source only last year. Before then, Lightworks was only available with purpose built hardware as a complete "turn key" solution.

The developers are now in the process of Beta testing it on a multiplicity of hardware combinations that exist on forum members PCs. And the code is being prepared technically and legally for open source release (scheduled for Summer 2011). Hundreds of thousands of pages of 20 year old code are being inspected for intellectual property licensing issues. You should know that free software is a legal minefield and the code must be free from such issues before it can be released.

The development of a Linux and Mac version of Lightworks is scheduled for quarters 3 and 4 of 2011. See the Lightworks roadmap.

Ah! That is perfect! I feel I should have searched. But you have to clear my doubt. About it are pretty acionsos his members of Free Software. For the full development of this application:)
