I tend to agree with Michiel on this one.
I don't want my code fixes and modifications going into the spectra
codebase which Macromedia is then going to make people pay for unless there
is some sort of return on my invested time.
If the Spectra codebase is available for free then I'm happy to give all my
modifications and enhancements away for free, but I am not keen on giving
Macromedia (or any other company for that matter) free development services
for a product which they are selling. Unless of course there is some
alternative benefit to be gained from doing so. Having my name beside the
code fix doesn't really cut it for me except for minor bug fixes.
Completely rewriting part of the Spectra architecture, like the custom
security model written by Webworld Studios, simply wouldn't be worth
posting to the site if all you get is a mention beside the code. You are
also giving ownership of that code to Macromedia which allows them to take
it and use it in pretty much any way they want without so much as saying
thank you.
