Hello!
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?
If someone could answer that question I might be interested in
making Swap fully open source :-)
Have a great day!
Albert

Also, as a sidenote, I have never operated an open source
development before so please let me know if there is anything I
should note about doing this.
These above two paragraphs seem to contradict each other. If it
is open source, then it is open source, you can't have it open
only for development. Why would anyone work on it.
I do a lot of Cocoa socket programming, and would love to see your
project happen but I would only commit my time to a truly open
source project.
