vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Update a hack and distribute it without permission ?

UOXDev · #24 10-19-2005, 01:07 PM

The idea behind distributing software for free on the internet should be about the sharing of knowledge not the power or grip over an idea.

Trying to lock everyone here into being able to only code a *new idea* or *new hack* is quite frankly counter productive to this community. If you're toing to start touting that people need to ask permission to use the idea of someone elses hack you are effectively cutting the hack community off at the knees.

If someone wants to retain the ownership of a hack then they shouldn't post it out here for free. They are in essence giving away the hack for nothing... I do believe in giving credit where credit is due but the idea of someone owning the concept of a hack is ridiculous.
