P.S. A thought ... Linux is everywhere. There is no concept of proprietary software. A business organization approaches me for software development. It is willing to pay me money without bothering about whether I provide the source code or not . The software should work and be ready within a given deadline. I work my a** out and deliver the software along with source code et al to the client only to discover that one of competitors has laid his hands on it and is making money out of my ideas :( I'm doomed. Shouldn't I make my software
proprietary
?

whatever u choose u is ur prob dude. C dude..there r many wayz to ensure that others too benefit from u code BUT rn't in direct competition with u. May projects like tripwire too which r gpl'ed release their code.....but only of an older version...which isnt very appealing nyway.
But, the funda is pple don't hav to re-invent the bloody wheen vrytime, thatz what Free Software is all abt.
If this doesn;t gel with u fine.....no1 is forcin nythin down ur throat dude....just that we hav a way of sharin thingz so that re0inventing the wheel ain't required.

The trend continues everywhere and there is a great divide : proprietary software for Linux & free software for Linux (for home?) Brrrrrr. possible?
