Yep, totally different incentives, protections, etc.

Well... *dramatic flair* It sounds like I'll be the first one to break that mold, then. You can feel happy and safe that you've risked nothing to help anyone else. @quasimondo will have his art, and you'll have your business, and it'll be all to yourselves.

I've already released a year's worth of work on open source. It was pretty novel work that made several people money. @ChombaBupe is right about the idea on delayed release. I've stated that intention already. No offense but you're coming across as a zealot on this subject.

No one is telling you to open source your work. Your reasons for not open sourcing your work are invalid and make no sense. Me pointing that out and open sourcing my work is "coming across as a zealot"? Sounds like I'd rather be a zealot then.

So there's a larger context here, and I gotta say, it's really silly to project everything through such a narrow lens. It's more complicated than that.

If what I'm saying is incorrect, why does it seem to upset you? Just shrug it off and move on. It's not like my opinion matters. I think you're upset because you know the lens isn't so narrow, and that it's easier to believe the lens is narrow.

There are endless justifications for not releasing one's own work: Someone might take it. Some other business won't tolerate it. I'm trying to be smart about it. I will release it, just not yet. It's almost always evasion. And it's easier to believe that than to just do it.

I mean....that's what you're hearing lol
