Nor did I say it did. But the profit is not as great with "free" software than as with "non-free" software, right? Or is it? I need a fairly decent profit. Can I get a decent-sized company and a high income (like $100,000/year) selling "free" software? If I sell 10 programs per day at $30 each then I get $300/day and thus $109,500/year avg. Is that possible?
Sure, why not. RedHat makes a couple millions a year. > Nobody here is forcing anyone, be it to make it free software or > even open source. If you wish to use the code, you must abide > the license. You are completely free to not use the code. Of course, but I'm disputing the terms on which I have to follow to use the code. Haven't you figured that out already? If you do not wish to follow the terms of the license, don't use the work. So then can I do what I described? Can I make a combined work, put that out under GPL (following the license), then take a piece of the _original code_ and put it in a non-GPL work and keep that non-GPL? I should be able to, considering that the original parts are MY code and NOT somebody else's. This has been explained to you a billion times now, you are still the copyright holder of the code you wrote. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
