This is the reason we have *projects*. The coder writes some code, or modifies some code. She submits her code or modifications to the project; at that point they become the *project's* code and no longer her code. But it doesn't matter because she is now co-owner of the project, which is both socially and commercially a more valuable thing. You're making a classic mistake here, which is thinking of open source as produced by programmers working on from-scratch projects in isolation, even though that's rarely the case. In fact, I'd say that case is so exceptional that it's not worth talking about. -- Josh Berkus _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@lists.opensource.org http://lists.opensource.org/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org
