Indeed we agree also with DrillSergeant that this forum is first of all for
UDF's, but moving this post to another forum would be wrong. It is specific
related to the information published on this forum. One of those topics
you may not miss during reading topics on this forum.
At this moment there are only five topics specific related to this forum,
which doesn't contain an UDF.

One of the goals of this specific forum was:
don't create a new site for storing and publishing UDF scripts and
prevent the loss of a good script in all kind of other topics.
Another goal was that some guidelines will guarantee the quality of UDF's.

It can never be the goal - in our opinion - to copy scripts from other sites
with removing author/link information. It can only be necessary to reformat
those scripts to the guidelines of this forum f.e. add examples and make
a [code] ... [/code] section.
Also it can never be the goal - without informing the author - to remove
his address before publishing it on the internet. Code is always recogni-
zable for authors is our experience and an author should always get the
credits.
We agree with NTDOC that we doesn't need any ones permission to modify
anything in Linux, but this doesn't mean you are directly publishing it.
Also Linux is a complete other world, which is general public world wide
but it doesn't mean that organizations can't create commercial products
for Linux without loosing their rights.

It might be a good idea to E-mail doesn't mean Brian didn't do this
already.
Also we doesn't see it as a personal discussion between both, but we find also
unproven accusations is out of place not only on this board but also in emails.
Such discussion may afraid other members for publishing information on this
board, which should never be the goal.
It is more to be aware of what is happening on this forum.

We shouldn't forget other kind of discussions on this board. Many times
members are complaining about commercial activities of some members.
- Sometimes it was pure commercial and those members doesn't get a wave of
criticism about it.
- In other situations only pointing to a commercial site returns all kind
of criticism about it.
For us it was and is never annoying. Such kind of criticism looks like
discrimination and can be also very dangerous for KiXtart (a product from Ruud
van Velsen or Microsoft?) itself.

Radimus remark about all script content here and all the others boards
are free we doesn't subscribe. Any publication of information on the inter-
net isn't for free. Publisher can lay down rules (license agreement) to his infor-
mation. Strictly speaking published shareware/careware isn't freeware.
Freeware doesn't mean also you can do hardly anything without respect for the
effort of creator. General speaking: it is forbidden that other persons get
financial profit of other effort.
Freeware means: you can use it without paying for it and without all kind of
unwanted restrictions. Mostly the author doesn't like and doesn't permit the
removement of his credits.

greetings:

btw: This thread will be deleted after three days isn't possible anymore.
All kind of members put reactions to it. A possible deletion (or better: move) was
and is in our opinion only possible, when this topic was directly closed for
other reactions.
So only move it to another forum and give the different members the credits for
their parts.
