UBBDev have the rights to add hacks to their database
Who gave them those rights? And do they own those rights all for themselves?
I am getting a bit annoyed about this because I have worked open source most of my life. And most of the hacks are simply add-ons that can not be commercially sold as a seperate product. Moreover, I thought the goal of this board was to help people to make hacks, get hacks, learn from hacks and above all SHARE the hacks so other people can enjoy them.
I have a real problem with person's ego being greater than the authors. I for one consider everything I post here to be completely free for everybody to do with as they please.
So on the bottom of the page I read this quote:
© 2000 - 2001 UBBDev.com
which is not uncommon, I see it on many boards, but I don't live up to it. On my boards the 'copyright' is with the author and in this case the author obviously WANT his code to be shared.
It would be rediculous to state 'Here's a hack that I made, here's the code, but you all can't use it because I have the copyright'.
