Nor even if you are at work developing something for in-house use. I'm interested if you take some of my code and use it to build "PascalSoft Spreadsheet" (or similar) and start selling it for $29.95 on the open market. That's when I think you would owe me some $$$ for my contribution to your commercial success. Check out the Ada Developers Cooperative Licence (ADCL) that Dr. Leif has written about in Ada Letters - article referenced somewhere in this newsgroup recently. I think you would see that the basic idea is to let software be open source and allow it to be used widely, but insisting on some kind of royalty if money starts changing hands. > > Don't you have some piece of code in your hard disc that you could share ? Yes. Go visit my web site and look over what is there. (http://www.mcondic.com/) I think you will find that I can be very easy with licensing terms if you decide you want to do something commercial with the software I put there.
