Alain, Eric,
I do not want someone to rip us off by just copying the sources and
selling them as their own product. But I would rather see this happen than
have OpenCard become a closed property.
That is, my main objective is creating a program everyone can add to,
everyone can build on, and that everyone can use to create their own
projects, ideally like Myst, but also application programs, not only games.
Secondary to that is whether someone makes money without adding their own
thing, be it a stack built with OC or a program based partially or in
greater part on OC's sources. If the latter has to happen to make the
former possible I don't mind.
Cheers,
