Slashdot is full of stupid
A response to my license agreement for Bunnies and all my tutorials:
“You may freely use and distribute the code presented in these tutorials under any license EXCEPT the GPL or any other license which denies authors their right to do as they please with their own code.”
Hypocrite
If this illiterate tool could read he would see that the restriction applies to MY code. You can relicense MY code anyway you want (as long as proper credit is given if needed) except as a viral license such as the GPL. It does not apply to YOUR code.
The GPL (and like licenses) force your to release YOUR code as GPL if you put one line of GPL code in your code. So if you were to mix GPL code with Bunnies code suddenly it would be GPL licenses which prevents you from being able to use MY code in accordance with MY license agreement.
So to prevent that sort of thing, any code that is added to Bunnies/RTSR tutorials that has an incompatible license is considered public domain until you come up with a compatible license agreement.
The GPL is the most ridiculous license agreement ever invented. This is why a lot of the good open source projects have more of a BSD style license. They recognize they are intended as part of a greater whole and do not have the right to dictate what I can do with MY code.
