    It's obvious? What is obvious is that if I wrote it, I can do anything I want with it including not giving it to you.. You presume too much in labeling my actions as bad when you have no clue as to why I choose not to give it to you.

    Can you point me to a for profit open souce project? It does not even have to be one that is making money at this point. It just needs to be one who think they can make money doing this.

    I ask because I have a hard understanding how a person/company expects to make money selling software developed in this manner. One cavet it must be a company selling the 'software' not one selling 'support for the software'.

  24. Re:HL2 code theft on FBI Conducts Raids Over Half-Life 2 Source Theft · · Score: 1

    You need to stop looking at motivation as A or B or C. People are much more complex then that. Really. I love writing software. I love getting paid to write software. I love the ego boost I get when customers express their delight in the product I have made for them. I love the feeling of satisfaction I get when it all works right, even more so when it works right the first time :). Be that as it may perhaps you could give some examples of how your two sugestions have made people who write software more money? Has it worked for you? How much time do you have to spend separating the wheat from the chaff?
