Also, I've been thinking of shutting down sixmore. Just release the code to the public (either gpl or just public domain), stop renewing the domains, and shut down the vhost. It's become completely obvious that nobody cares anymore; least of all me.

Liscense
Please not GPL, if it is GPL I cannot look at it.

Eh?

Re: Liscense
Work prohibits me looking at GPL code for two reasons.
1) Fear that I will use such code in a project, requiring the project and any derivative projects to become GPL.
2) Fear that since I looked at GPL code, someone can claim, true or not, that I included the code or parts of that code in a project, sue and claim my knowlege of the GPL'd code as enough proof to merit a case.

I understand the desire behind GPL of maintaining freeness, I just think it is a very heavy hammer, for a very small nail.

Re: Liscense
The same would be true of any viral license.
And my that's a paranoid legal department you've got there.

Re: Liscense
Yep, paraniod and in my opinion a bunch of wusses.

Yep, true of any viral liscence. Which is why I vote for Public Domain.

If you don't like it, might as well can it, but for the record, I do go and look there now and again.

If you do release it, I vote for GPL, partly because you’d probably be really annoyed if some company took it and monetized it and got rich and you couldn’t even see what they’d done with it. (If it’s GPL, of course, anybody out there can still monetize it, but at least they can’t monopolize the code. Hmmm... I guess for something like this you’d have GPLv2 vs. GPLv3 issues.)
