i dont really understand this gnu liscnece. Say i released pulsar under it. What is to stop someone from making it better and then releasing it as entirely their own. I wont know if they started from pulsar unless they showed me the code and i recognized some stuff left over from pulsar. No one is required to show the code as far as I know so it seems that for someone to prove they violated the liscence would be hard. Second one post said i think that if people improve it and you use the improvements your bound to share them. Another post said that you as the original programmer can use anyones improvments in your next versions without sharing what you used. At least thats what i think i read it is still a bit confusing to me. Anyway regardless of what is true doesnt the same logic apply. If someone modifies my program and i use the modifications in a version I dont release the code for, how would anyone know?
