I am an AMX programmer who has written many modules. I
freely share these modules with colleagues of mine and
have posted some on various forums. I understand how long
it takes to write these things and how much work goes
into them. It just so happens that I learned to code from
reverse engineering the code of others who were kind enough
to share with me, so it would be in bad form to not share
with others.
Fair enough, you get some of your modules from others and think share and share alike. We don't get ours from others and consequently don't have the same opinion.
As I stated the new world of software development is more
and more going to the open source model. Why? Because
many minds are better than one. Some times when I share
a module it comes back to me better than when it left.
If you are willing to share what modules you have with us then I will gladly join your ring of developers and share ours with you and yours. Seems fair to me, I'm happy to adapt and change company policy to suit!
The state of the modules in the code is less relevant
to the end user than having the source code itself, why
do they care if the module is locked or not, only that
it works.
And if the end user has the source code, than
doing something like swapping out a piece of gear is hardly
a massive undertaking.
My point exactly... you don't need the modules so why would it be a problem to not have their uncompiled code.
