Let me explain what is an open-source project. the source code can be reading and including in another project: 1 - sometimes it necessary to remake the wheel because of non-open source code available. but when you did it, you "offer" it to the community and everyone can include your code in another open-source application. for example : flightgear community write simgear whitch can be included in another project (i heard about a water-ship simulation) 2 - you don't care about licensing because you write the code or you include open-source code only. 3 - your work is protected by the "open-source" license. commercial application cannot stealth your code. they can or cannot include your work (depending of the license gpl:not, creative commons:yes) but in all cases they must giving the author name and where find the original code (your work). i hope being clear because i'm not an english guru, only a padawan (sorry i'm french ;-) ) -- Didier Fabert [EMAIL PROTECTED] KFreeFlight project : A FlightGear GUI-Frontend designed for KDE users http://kfreeflight.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
