I must say that I don't understand You both.
If You don't want to support the code then don't.
Are You too afraid to say that to the whiners ? ;-)
No, I'm not afraid to tell the whiners to "go roll a hoop". However, in
addition to the whiners are the whiners' managers who back them up and
cause me "political" problems. It is just "easier" for me to deny them
the ability to even get started on me. It saves me time and effort. And
keeps my blood pressure down.
Can't You just say "that's not my money" ? Sure they must understand that
You are not payed to support that ?
But I understand Your point !
I have always seen source hiding in circumstances like this
as silly and sneaky. I never do this.
B-but I __like__ being sneaky! My hero is the BOFH from "The Register",
but I'm not sneaky enough to emulate him.
Well, I admit that it's egoistical of me to deny the joys of Your life !
