Hi,
You going to share that perl code so that we can help you make it even better?
I believe in Open Source - GPL or BSD - and the best way to make a better place is to release code and allow as many skilled people to work on it as possible. the internet would be dead without such philosophy. I can understand the authors private reasons for the change in Nipper but the pros/cons of GPL were surely known from the early days? not sure how making it 100% commercial will help - the old version is out there and is useful (with some niggles)..i expect some person will fork it.. call it 'slipper' or somesuch. A better route would be the 'make a commercial version' with more features, support, etc. regarding OS - unlss i work on it privately and start from scratch then my paymasters need to agree on IP/copyright :-| alan _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
