I'll post my .exe and .cc files as well. I'll probably just let it go free, but charge like a 5$ one time use to play newtworked. I figure, if people sign up paypal and just refer me, no one looses any money. I figure anyone who wants to use my source is welcome to rip it out modify and make stuff with it. Just like try and remember me if you ever do something cool with it :) Capatilism, communism, and human rights are all being blended together when it comes to today's software development. I think if everyone could just be cool, and give props to where they deserved instead of using greedy 'intelectual property' capitalism, our rate technology increase would increase dramatically. This is why I like GNU stuff, it tries to legally word what everyone's thinking. No need to recode, but at the same time, don't be a greedy thief. In essence, be cool, and share code. :) I think paypal is pretty cool, or is this a bad idea and I would be feeding the corporations. I'm a pretty punk type of guy and I hate the video game corps because they don't hire game design talent, so if I'm gonna make any decisons that could affect the corps, I want to make sure I'm not signing myself away.
