ah, but you see, the BSD license _does_ protect your copyright, so no one can deny that it was you who are the inventor. you just need to capitalize on that. come on, you're giving away your code with either license. don't complain that you not getting rich by giving something away. if your code is so great that it ends up everywhere (even if through M$'s marketing machine), then surely you are valuable! > >IMO, most of the world's ills are due to lack of trust. > > > > Most of the world's lack of trust is due to bitter experience. then don't do things that you will end up bitter about! that's exactly my point. if you truly enjoy sharing code, then why do you care if someone else capitalizes on it? -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
