And that is exactly what I was saying.  KenB was putting up things
that are still being sold. Thus I lit him up.  I wasnt trying to light
you up here Sean as I am well aware of the support you have given such
projects.  The problem is that everything somehow got lumped in
together and it was as if everything was being justified.  Obviously
you, myself, a dozen others work our butts off to bring items to the
community and suddenly it gets ripped, we get ripped, the project gets
ripped off and the whole idea of releasing anything suddenly seems
like a mute point.

Also for items we own actual copyright on, we intend to enforce it and
things we have released to the public as freeware is not distribute
ware....it is free for personal use.    Things that are community
projects are generally released to the public, however, it seems that
our buddy KenB is claiming these community items as his own which is
why I went on the tirade.
