And in any case I'm not claiming authorship of them, either. Maybe you should read a bit more about open source philosophy? Didn't it ever occur to you that most people don't release open source apps because someone is paying them to do so? They don't, they release them for more idealistic reasons than perhaps you are comfortable with. You can't take FreeBSD or Linux without buying into the philosophy behind them. Perhaps if you wrote and released your own open source package you might understand this. Ted
