Anyway, no where in the GPL will you find that a developper > *must* disclose their true identity No of course you can't. Additionally the developer shouldn't be forced to disclose their identity. What i was taking exception with was the view that the identity of the developer is no one's business. As i said it's the users business. But the appropriate solution to the user not knowing the identity of the person responsible for writing a piece of code is for the user not to install and use that program on their system if they arent comfortable of knowing its source. That said i don't think it's necessarily a great attitude to take that your not prepared to put your identity to your own doings. And i adopt that view to all manner of things software development aside.
