thanks compaero but you owe me an apology
The trouble with websites is that we speak tersely and Prof and I being both consulting engineers don't have to spell out code of conduct.
My EULA with Jeppesen Weathertext does not preclude me from running a demo and showing it to another. I may not of course allow that other to use my terminal or my login. And if Prof likes the look of a finished article he can buy his own licence.
Likewise I use Digital Atmosphere for which I have a registered version. I have sent the Prof the same weather tables anyone can get scot free by writing to Bracknell. I propose to manually enter that W+T data in the correct format into DA and let it draw me weather maps. If he likes the finished article, he can buy a licence.
As for Boeing and Airbus Airport Technology... well tables of range, pavement loading etc are published free by one company and on authorisation by the other at reasonable cost.
I apologise for any seeming asperity but really you must think of the learned Prof and myself as gimcrack spives knocking up a dodgy runway design. Being retired and getting on it’s a rather funny image.
Prof has a very public face, website and all. Me I am an elderly retired gent, thirty years flying and eking out my coffin dodging years by being pleasant, helpful but very correct and playing strictly by the rules. There are on this very site a very long list of very respectable and internationally recognised men and women who can confirm as much.
So I'd appreciate it on my behalf and that of the Prof if you would withdraw your post as its seems to imply that we are a pair of shonky spivs. We do know how to behave and how to respect intellectual property and if you had read any one of my many posts on that very subject, you'd realise that any imputation to the contrary is unjust
