*Not dispicable, no, not at all!* As far as code is concerned, anyone releasing anything under a free or GPL license knows at the point they are doing it, that it is possible and entirely reasonable for commercial entities to profit from their work. Everything I have ever released under GPL, I have known from that it was possible for people to profit from my work. Don't want that to happen, don't release code under a GPL license. Neither one of the commercial entities has done anything wrong! (Maybe, out of courtesy that should have let me know what they were doing. That's what I would have done in their position. But nothing required them to even notify me that they were going to use what I thought was a community image on a commercial player.) It is me that has done something stupid. By not anticpating from Day 1, that the images might be used by, or part of a product offering from a commercial entity. I don't have much of an issue with anyone using anything I have worked on or produced for commercial purposes. The only issue I would have, could be, that I would be on the hook if they were sued, for something I have produced, that they are selling, that I haven't received a dime for! ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
