Re: Source code (was: The Wilkes-Barre fiasco...)

Hey, Hey,  Isn't the whole point of Open Source (from BIG CORPORATIONS
perspective)  Get code written for free by someone who wrote it on his own
time and got no money for except for a name stamp on some source code.

And then make a lot of money for an interactive feature.....  Naw,   I must
have that wrong.

I have to agree with this point.  For some reason in programming plagiarism
is not only accepted practice but in some cases promoted.  If I wrote a
book
tomorrow with 5 chapters from a previously published book I'd be sued.  If
a
wrote a program with 5 functions from someone else's program I'd get a
raise
for my increased productivity.
I think one should at least give credit where it's due.  I have no problem
with someone using my code as long as they give me credit.
