2-year hand prints? Totally wrong. Those are 10-year hand prints. And there are a lot of them, stretching across many walls and not all in the same building.
Turnover is high in the roles that require a lot of travel (implementation), but low in all of the other roles.
Who are you? I've never heard of you, thus I've never purchased anything you've written. How's that obscurity working out for you? Maybe if more people "stole" your work, more people would have heard of you and you'd have a larger potential market for your writing.
Instead of stealing, you could call it "sharing" and "word of mouth advertising" and "a route out of the obscurity ghetto".
Open Source: (Oh-pehn Sor-ss): Source code for a given application is readily available to those who use the application.
This may be a definition of Open Source but it is not the official definition of Open Source. For that you have to visit http://www.opensource.org/osd.html. The official definition of Open Source specifies free redistribution of the software and very easy access to the source code. While it is possible for you to still the source to an Open Source application at a high price your users are free to redistribute it as they wish.
While you can license your software under a license that does not permit those actions and try to call it Open Source you will not be complying with the Open Source Definition and will likely be ignored.
