    it's difficult protecting source code, especially if you change it, and then attempt to sell it. he'll have to dish out quite a bit in attorney fees and provide proof that, that was his IP to begin with. kinda shitty on your part, but that's the 'lovely' thing about open source.

    also, i do remember reading somewhere that once you change a certain percentage of source code, you can claim it as your own, but i can't recall the source or its credibility.

    • Maybe, but open source is about making money from services rather than IP .. it does away people trying to profit from the code. It's allows people to profit from their knowledge.lukus_W
    • their knowledge instead.lukus_W
    • I think the whole idea of selling code is flawed.lukus_W
    • gah .. -> "it does away people trying to profit from [ip and allows them to profit from] their knowledge instead."lukus_W
