I am hearing a lot of people tell me that open source software is the
way to go. I am slightly thinking of going this way with Swap but
could someone help me out with these questions I have? First off, the
only thing I have about open source is that some small shareware
company could come along, steal the code that I and others developers
have worked so hard on, change some interface elements and edit some
code, rename the project and then sell it as their own. How would I
protect against this?
It all depends on what license you put the source code under. If you
make it GPL, then people can take it and modify it as long as they make
their modified version available free, for example.
