Steven, Even if the only goal in life is to die with the most gold pieces under one's name, I would still disagree with your statement. Folly? Even Microsoft "gives away IP" from time to time! > He should never had released the code which he developed from the "sweat > of his brow". It is true that Dave Cinege expressed similar sentiments at one time. He may change his mind in the future when he realizes the true significance of his achievements. Speaking for myself, I would be quite pleased if the OIO software ever becomes as widely adopted as the LRP. :-) > Those in a position to do so have now profited from his hard work and he > has nothing to show for it. But he does have quite a bit to show for it, just not much money. > Whilst they are laughing all the way to the bank. 1) Isn't it wonderful that Dave Cinege made so many people happy? 2) Why is that not a worthwhile achievement? 3) Would Dave Cinege be considered more "successful" if he made people cry and suffer?
