Didja see it on the news a few years back where some heavy-sized guy was shooting at his also heavy=sized attorney around a little skinny tree?? He started the shooting, just outside the courthouse, after losing his case. How he missed, is beyond me! <cackles> I do agree, using the app, like SQL, is not the same as snatching blocks of it's code and calling it your own, and selling it. Besides, there is more money in it, by just servicing the account on an hourly basis. Develop once, copy many times, charge the big bucks for install, and the maintenance. Simple to my perspectives.
