I believe in one author per program, _period_. No shared books. No shared code. Each person picks a team to associate with, and that is that... Otherwise I am for no rule at all. Anybody can use any book they can figure out how to use. I see no reason for someone (say yourself, or Alex or even me) to give some permission to use a very good book, but deny it to others, "just because". IE I vote for "one" or "all". Not "chosen few". > >>I find this rule outrageous and a shame. It is taylor-made for the commercial >>companies. >> >>Miguel
