Is Open Source Fading Away...
-
Butting in here.. .. there's a significant difference between sites like Code Project and the Open Source religion. Open Source code cannot be used in commercial applications, unless the developer agrees to publish the app itself as Open Source.. in other words, it can't be used in commerical applications. Code from the Code Project can be freely used in any sort of application, including commercial apps. That's what chaps my ass about the Open Source movement: it's not about making source code freely available; it's about imposing a narrow and restrictive model of software development on the world.
Don't confuse Open Source with the dreaded GPL licence. There are some worthy open source licences out there. The BSD one in particular. Michael :-)
