I think you're missed my point: - If you're nice and you find a bug in a program, report it the the author. - If you're nice and you use someone's code (the code in my previous email show that obviously some part has been copy/pasted), you ack (at least) the copyright. - If you're nice, writing good code doesn't imply you behave like an asshole (because you're nice). I don't care if my lib is in obvious or not and why, or if someone rewrite it or whatever. That's only a bunch of bytes. I'm not talking about technical issue or programming stuff. I'm not angry and I don't expect appologies or something. I just wanted him to know. It is not nice. Period. Regards, Alex. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to awesome-devel-unsubscr...@naquadah.org.
