To me Trivial code sush as that and even filesystem code and all general purpouse stuff who's use is somewhat limited and is below 1000 lines of code should come with all the Free Licences so one can pick whatever one suites better the users needs on more complex works sush as perl one can choose allready between a couple of licences so why not do it for more programs ... I just don't want a certain big company in redmont to use certain code but for the rest I don't care what happens to code and who uses it as long as the autors name and details remain intact and also the names of poeple who fixed the code their details are mentioned. Sometimes I take a package make the chages I need for me to that code and put the code back in the original sites /incoming directory with a small note what changes I made to their code and why...then the authors are free to do with my changes what they want if they want to keep my version okey if they don't like my changes they can delete it..me don't care what happens to it as long as I offered my code back to them because afterall they wrote the original code I was able to modify. But that's me. Michael --- Michael C. Vergallen A.k.A.
