I agree with Dave's concerns. Furthermore: >> This program is released under the GPL, so you can do any modification >> to it. If you do, please post your changes (and the reason behind it). One of the freedoms guaranteed by the GPL is that you are free to make modifications without any requirement to push them back 'upstream'. In other words, mandating that users return enhancements to you violates the very premise that you gave them by releasing under the GPL (of course, most users will be civil enough to return enhancements as a favor, but it is because they choose to, and not because you required it). - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
