how can TI put restrictions on something they distribute freely from their website?
Edit: Would it be legal to tell everybody and go download a ROM from education.ti.com and then upload it? It seems just wrong, but I don't understand this legal stuff.
Sure, as long as they own the calc. There might be some jurisdiction issues with them storing their ROM on your server though, as that might technically fall under the category of sharing. You'd need a way to prove that only the uploading user had access to the ROM instance.
And re: restrictions: Umm, if there was no way to restrict the use of freeware, don't you think someone like Microsoft would be selling an OS built on Linux by now?

Three cheers for the GNU GPL! (and whatever license the linux kernel actually uses - if it isn't the GPL)

you can say that again. Go OSS!
This would be quite an awesome project! I was thinking along the lines of an IDE that has the emulated calc screen built in the window (like how the BASIC256 IDE has the output of your program shown right in the IDE instead of in another window).

Nice 4 year necropost.
It was my fault, actually; I was trying to send him to this topic about a BASIC programming guide, but the DoorsCS bot pulled the wrong topic out of Google. 
Ah, stupid DoorsCS

Haven't read through this topic, but it sounds great! There's a way to use TI-BASIC–style commands in FreeBASIC, but it's definitely not the most accurate of simulators.
Should we lock this or something? It's a four year old topic...
Whoops, didn't notice that. Sorry.
