/me smacks Dvir gently ;) Hello! we're POST the bubble-days. Remember companies like Eazel who tried to do these things? where are they today? If I were him and I wanted to write some open source applications for living, then I would have been in a big problem. What makes you sure that if he writes for a company an open source program and sells it - that I (or anyone else) will take the sources and sell it to their competitors for 1/10th of the original author? nothing.
