Thanks for clearing up a rather ambiguous point that I raised and inadvertently suggested that I agree with. I was just stating the position that many adopt. Many strongly object to trying to "hide" source merely to hide the source.

Personally, I don't have strong feelings on it one way or another. I do feel strongly that if someone takes from the community, one should give back. I don't think this necessarily means giving back one's code. Donating to the Perl foundation or hanging out at the Monastery and helping other's are two very worthwhile methods of giving back.

Cheers,
