@pixie

That would be one cheap programmer. My guess is that Chris already has a faily good idea of how the work should be done, assuming it's not already done. He just wants a bit of compensation. The bounties are popular (and reasonably successful), so it makes sense to follow that scheme.

@all

If Elbox did that and didn't adhere to the AROS Public License ... well, they'd be doing pretty much what they're already doing, I guess (there's some Linux kernel stuff on their web site, no source code available).

@kolla

And therein lies a major criticism of the GPL, since you can't legal distribute the binary without providing some form of access to the source.

@dammy

Or some other OSI-approved license; however, if you want the backing of the Free Software Foundation and other advocacy groups, the GPL is the way to go.
