I'm confused. Can someone explain why you would copyright code used in an open source os? I see alot of people complaining that MS products are not open source. So why would a linux developer want to "own" code? Doesn't that go against the much used term open source?
I understand that if I write a little program and someone uses it I would like some credit. But is this all the coder is looking for or does he want $ for the code?
Bare with me i'm pretty new to linux.
It's probably because we're "Silicone Valley North".
I work for Bell but I have rogers@home... Hummm.
Bell's speed just can't compare. But @home has some serious reliability and consistency issues to address.

Gator = Spyware. Gator = Crap. Looks the same to me. If it smells like crap and looks like crap... Well it must me...
