The "obfuscating code" thread touch on the larger point of selling an app written in perl. I'd like to discuss that a bit because I have some thoughts and questions.
I don't really mind if someone buys my app code and then customizes it for their purposes. That's actually a great thing for the buyer, and if they hired a local perl guy to do that work, that'd be great for all of us. I don't even mind if they sell add-ons to the app, but I don't want them selling the app. Is there a GPL type license that allows buyers of code to change it to whatever they want, but restricts their right to resell it. or do I have to make one of those up? I can't even get through the gutenberg.org license without wanting to bang my head on a wall. Will a simple copyright do the trick? How do others deal with this? Attorneys? (I hope there is a simpler way) Kindest Regards, Bill Stephenson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
