Maybe a bit beside what you actually ask, but I have no problem whatsoever in people *using* my code, abusing it or torturing it into corners I have never imagined.

I would however fiercely object to people using my code in (public) documentation or learning materials that alter the (layout of the) code. My code is beautiful as it is (subjective and I do not care if you disagree), and that should NOT be changed when using these documentation in teaching materials.

This is the reason I will never ever write (parts of a) book, as producers force ugly style and code layout and even uglier font defaults.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
