Doug,
whatever you do, it's your decisions. Nobody can force you.

> They are now questioning my salary.

They should. period.

Whenever you use anything that is GPL or LPGL (like dynapi) it means: "NO
WARRANTY"
Do I have to write it red?
I repeat: whenever you use GPL or LPGL stuff you have no warranty. No rights
to complaing. Nil. Void.
Read the license.
You have the right not to use it. If you do, then it is assumed your
responsibility to assure it fits your needs.

Do you know what it means to test dynapi on all-browsers? It cant be done.
Some minor change may cause problems on any other environment except those
it was tested on. I guess the 'Latest Stable' was stable on some development
environments.

> Is this so much to ask for?

YES

You can't ask if have not paid for it. It is too bad that with open
source-projects you can not pay either. If you have contributed something to
dynapi, then, well you still can't ask anything. Nobody asked or forced you
to contribute. It (if) was your choice, and entitles of no special handling.

If you want somebody to test dynapi builds, then if you really really want
it, hire some student and pay him. It's the only way.
You cant ask others to do the things you want to use for your work (you get
paid), for free. It's not fair.

***

Sorry if you dont like what I said. However if you remember some things from
my mail it will help in the future.

Rule #1: Read the LICENSE.TXT always! If it says 'NO WARRANTY' think about
what it may mean to you.

If you salary is being questioned because you did not read the license
agreement of something you are using for the employer? Who's fault is that?
If somebody can't read?

If you use 'no warranty' stuff (GPL/LGPL) then you have to ensure that you
are using working branch. And you have to tell your employer that you are
using GPL stuff. Not all employers allow that. If you did not inform them
(about the use of GPL ed software), then it is trouble for you.

sorry
Antti
