I wish them to *make money*. But with respect to *all developers*.<br>
I don't need to fork the project. I can write it from scratch. My
software development experience<br>
allows me to do so. I can go open source, or I can make it free for
individual use, but with the<br>
close source - the choice is mine. But we are talking not about myself
here. I already have my open<br>
source project ( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://c-smile.sourceforge.net">http://c-smile.sourceforge.net</a> ).<br>
<br>
Lots of people contributed the bits of their code, of their souls to
the project. Why they are not deserve<br>
to receive energy substitute ( I mean money ).<br>
<br>
<br>
Okay, I shut up. They knew what they were doing, when they transfered
all their rights for source code of<br>
that patches and channel drivers to Mark.<br>
<br>
It is just unfair, and it is killing me. Sorry guys, sorry Mark. I shut
up.<br>
<br>
All the Best!<br>
Sergey.<br>

and I would even donate to the developers, but if it's under dual
license - it's unfair.

<pre wrap=""><!---->Such is life. If you don't like it, you can always fork the project and
license *your* contributions under GPL only.
With all due respect, I think Mark and Digium deserve the right to make
money, and other developers...Well, don't :)
