Hi, I just released my Sports Prediction Program under the GNU GPL last week. I mentioned it on two newsgroup posts and so far have gotten about 25 hits on the website, but zero courtesy emails. Is it common for people to just take the software without so much as a thank-you email? The same thing happened when I released some Quake software a few months ago on www.planetquake.com.
If GNU is in part a community of like-minded folks, then why is this behavior so prevalent? Well, I guess i shouldn't complain since I didn't leave email comments when I downloaded GNU software. Still, I was hoping for some limited amount of community or friendly exchange to take place. Perhaps it is too early as football season is still months away. If anyone is interersted in seeing the web page, it is here: http://homepage.mac.com/thingsofrings/sports/index.htm Also, I have thought of making the software available via email only to force a "hello" from each downloader, but that just doesn't seem right. Looking for advice and comments. Thanks. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
