Even thought I am new to the Open Source Community I agree with Randal Schwartz. I find the idea of creating AND sharing much more enriching than the way things are done in the MS world where I have spent the bulk of my career.
Maybe we should come up with UnShroud+. Beau E. Cox -----Original Message----- From: Randal L.

I just want to go on the record to say that I consider your action personally offensive and ethically questionable. A lot of people have worked very hard to bring you an open source platform to stand on. And now you spit in their face, by trying to pretend YOUR work is worthy of more locking up than the source code you are using to create your work. Sir, on their behalf, and my own as a contributor to the open source movement, and Perl in particular, you offend me. -- Randal L.
