How about using the idea of my story ++ (software) in a story of your own? That is plaigerism and theft, yet ++ what are you stealing? An idea. Should authors go unpaid for their ++ work? All they are doing is releasing ideas in written form. No one can ++ then take that idea and use it without the original author's express ++ permission (and after paying for the right, quite often). The idea of "free software" doesn't mean authors/programmers are unpaid. You can still be paid to develop new programs, or to write a new book. You would be paid for work you *do*, not for work you have *done*. Abigail
