you are correct. what i said and what i meant to say were 2 different things.
the point is this (i think)... i think Dave and the other contributors are committed to DQSD as an open source project. DQSD (and any open source project) will only succeed as such if folk feel free to contribute without fear of getting ripped off or fear of turning huge profits for others with no return to themselves. from that perspective, DQSD will probably never be involved in any means to turn a profit (i mean how do you honestly share the $ with all the hundreds of contributors over the years). though off-shoots of DQSD may indeed be used to turn a profit. again this is just my $0.02. maybe i read Dave and Glenn wrong, but they seem like a couple of upstanding gentlemen (loosely speaking) who would have trouble profiting from the free contributions of others. i'm having trouble saying what i am thinking... but you get the point.
