You keep saying that lawyers are necessary. Your position on this is "Companies will break the law unless I have lawyers to stop them." It's ironic that you're so idealistic with politics but so jaded with business. :)

Yes. As we've seen the past few years in particular, the only thing that stops a lot of scum bags from breaking the law is enforcement of said law. Idealistic? Well I certainly don't like Trump and make that well known but not sure if that's "idealistic".

Yeah, somehow the only idealist I can see here is you, Shawn. I mean it's nice that you hold humanity in such high regard and that you seem not to have had any bad experiences in that area. In my experience sharing is good for fame and karma, but not something that pays the rent.

This has totally been my experience. I have lots of internet points! Not so much the money relative to what people seem to think lol :P I'm taking a salary that's less than what I was making at my previous job (which wasn't spectacular for software).

You're both claiming that MyHeritage would break the law and risk their company's standing just to rip off your code. I think that's a mistaken view. It's not idealism to say so.

Not that. There's the rest of the world that can repackage and resell the work and the burden would be on me to prove it with my invisible army of lawyers.

Why not that? MyHeritage is a perfect example of why your concern is misplaced. You have what they want. They're a big company who won't risk their reputation for a little revenue. And yet when that example comes along which shows that the view is mistaken, it's "not that." Hm.

I'm not evading your point. I'm saying somebody else could easily repackage and sell to MyHeritage. The burden would be on me to prove the reseller is in the wrong. Good luck on that, me.
