I'll make this short...
First, there are an awful lot of folks here who are beginning to sound a little like a bunch of NW fools I can think of.
Second, I'm no coder. I'm one of the owners of an engineering co. that hires coders. And I "get it".
If some coder thinks he can tell me what to do with something I am paying him for he can hit the road, period.
OTOH, I am currently paying a coder to develope a number of OpenLDAP tools for managing and syncing user accounts across multiple servers. I have every intention of "open-sourcing" these once they are debugged and useful.
But just because I get it does not mean I will stand for being told what to do by an employee. Instead of arguing about IP, you folks should be figuring out how to make the PHBs "get it".
